Mother of the Year: Super Bowl Sunday

Nora barking at the dogs outside

Yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday so I decided to make taco soup and have our own football party. I told Leo we were going to watch a football game and have fun. That lasted about 15 minutes before we were bored with the game. I decided to turn on the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. Nora was sitting in the living room quietly pulling toys out of her toy box. When we turned the channel, Nora turned around and started scooting to the TV. She stood up and started woofing at the puppies. She was barking like crazy and yelling "dog" at the TV. I have never seen a child go wild over dogs on TV before. Then the kitty halftime show started. This was too much for Nora. She literally laughed so hard she lost her balance and fell over. Nora loves, loves, loves cats. Her first word, besides mama and dada, was kitty cat. Cats playing and music to dance to is Nora's dream show. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Leo and I couldn't stop laughing at this wild girl meowing and woofing at the TV. This morning when Nora and I walked past the TV, Nora started barking. I think I've created a monster! When Nora grows up to be a vet I'll have to remind her of this.

Early today Leo asked me if he could take some pictures with my camera. He loves to go around the house taking pictures. Leo is very serious about this. It always makes me laugh to see what he will take a picture of. Here are a few of his masterpieces.
