yesterday, we drove up to see some friends who are staying in escondido (about a 40 minute drive). we had so much fun! my parents drove up there with nora on sunday, while david and i were out of town for our ann'y. they told me that nora LOVED the spray yard. so, i anticipated a very excited reaction. nora wasn't as thrilled with them as i was told, but eventually she played and played. she just didn't want to get wet! she loved the bucket and little funny ball you can see in her hands!
today, we tried coloring. i was under no illusions that nora would color a masterpiece, or even color much. i anticipated much crayon chewing. or at least attempted chewing. so, i set her up in her high chair. i handed her a crayon and showed her what to do. she mostly rubbed the paper of the crayon on the paper. when she tried to put a crayon in her mouth, i stopped her and told her no. not harshly or yelling. but when i said no, her eyes welled up with tears. it was the saddest thing i have ever seen. her lower lip stuck out and she burst into tears. not fake, i don't want to be told no tears (even though she HATES being told no), but real tears, like i had hurt her feelings. it was so sad. don't worry, i cuddled her, then put her down for a nap. she is sleeping like a baby!!! i LOVE the look on her face in the first coloring pic!
