She’s exhausted. She’s in bed. She’s all snuggled up with her new bunny, her pillow, and the blanket Maryann made her. She’s not sleeping. She is, however, singing over and over the mixed up lyrics:

Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Dormez-vous? Dormez-Vous?
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Dormez-vous? Dormez-Vous?
Ding Dang Dong
Ding Dang Dong

I keep calling back “no, you’re not/no, you’re not” but apparently audience participation is unwelcome in this performance.

On a related note, this morning she was talking on her play cell phone and told me Alan Doyle was on the line. I took the phone, had a brief conversation with him about the pitfalls of being a famous Canadian celtic folk rocker, and gave her back the phone. Apparently convinced that he really was on the line Nora started stroking and kissing the phone.

jen: you like Alan?
Nora: yes!
me: is Alan your boyfriend?
Nora: yes!
all three of us: *sigh*

So far her keenest interest has been in the slide whistle that belonged to her granddad Hogarty and my tin whistles. Here are a couple of photos of her performing for the fish.

Here’s Grandma giving her a lesson:

and, later, Nora rockin’ out on her own. Her Grandpa McGowan would have loved this… *sniff*

(many thanks to grandma and grandpa for sending us the pictures)

Really. Apparently she loves ABBA (but who doesn’t?).
