Summer fun begins!

Summer Fun has BEGUN!!! I have been loving every moment being home with this little nugget of ours. From the moment she wakes up in the morning,until we are snuggling with books before she goes to sleep, Nora keeps us entertained and we realize how much she learns every single day. I can't help but feel that I miss so much of that when I am at work. Good or bad, I miss it and I love that I have this time to "catch up".
So, we have been busy already this summer. Nora started her first class today. It is called "Tiny Toes" and it's a dance class for 2 -3 year olds. She absolutely LOVED it. However, she was not the most attentive child in class.
She began by just observing, then joined the class, then had a grand ol' time doing her OWN thing. YIKES! Here are some pics...
Observing.
Joining the class.
This sums it up...the remainder of the class, she was pretty much at one end of the room while everyone else was at the other. hmmmm?
She is in a sports class tomorrow called "Little Rookies". We shall see if she takes after her mommy and performs better at sports then dance. Although, I think dance class is so darn adorable.

This past weekend, we went to the zoo and we all had a great time. She loved the dolphins, seals, and camel with "two bumps mom", as seen below...
Then she helped me cook a banana cake. It was seriously the best cake I've made in a long time. I highly recommend using coconut oil instead of other oils or shortening when baking...delicious! And, I must say, Nora really did a nice job helping!
We also play a GREAT deal of hide and seek lately. She is becoming much more adventurous in her hiding spots...Do you see her???
She is counting much better lately. Although, there are times she still counts "2, 6. 8. 10 11. 8" But, a good portion of the time she counts to 12 correctly.
She cracked me up the other day when I put piggy tails in her hair. On her own she said "Minnie Mouse". So, I assume she thinks the piggy tails look like Minnie Mouse. I then said, "If you are Minnie Mouse, who is mommy". she replied.."Goofy!" Real nice.
She has also been saying "sorry" all the time. Appropriately too. Hmm, wonder where she gets that from? :)
And, she loves pointing out when things are upside down. She has to take naps with at least 3 books in her crib, and she shows a great deal of expression when going to the bathroom on the potty. (hysterical).
