madagascar


nora is obsessed with her "roar bean show".  the movie is actually "madacascar".  and she LOVES it!  (memo (or finding nemo) is also a close second...)  today, she asked to watch it.  it was too cute... and perfect!  the house needed to be cleaned and i needed to unpack.  so, here's a cute video!  

good news... the house is clean, and i finally showered!  bad news... no ohio pictures yet.  

nora has the sweetest manners.  today, when i would do something, she would jump up and down and say the sweetest "thank-you", like i had just done the best thing in the whole world!  sometimes, she says "please, thank-you, and you're welcome" in the same breath.  she seems to mostly know when and how to say the correct phrases.  and, if you bump into her, she will say "sorry".  it's so fun!

however, i have realized that i am not near as polite as i want my kids to be.  i often ask (nicely) for something, or for someone to do something, only to realize that i haven't said "please".  i think it, and even mean it.  i am trying to be better about that.  my lack of politeness is not intentional...  just good raising gone by the wayside.  good thing we have kids to teach us how to be polite again!
