Today, today we learned a LOT about 'No' and how serious momma can be about 'No'. And then momma learned that sometimes she can't keep a straight face while saying 'No'.
This morning while I was trying to start work at my desk.
Nora: Mommy?
Me: Yes, baby.
Nora: Caw-wah, me?
Me: Ok, here's a purple marker(they are Pip squeaks, washable by Crayola)
Nora: Dat Do
Nora proceeds to color on her 36"x36" piece of paper. I go to brush my teeth and have a quick conversation with Rich. Nora walks into the bathroom.
Me: Nora, not in the mouth!(pull marker out of Nora's mouth, which is purple at this point)
Nora: No mouf?
Me: No mouth, wait a minute the marker is almost white! Rich I think she sucked the color out!!!
Rich: Is that ok?
Me: I don't know, I can only assume Crayola plans for these things.
Mommy proceeds to do computer to research whether the purple mouthed child will die....not likely according to the internet.

Nora and Mommy in the car to go shopping.
My poor child has inherited the epic sneeze gene from her daddy.
Nora sneezes
Me: oh dear Lord, Nora here's a "nose" wipe your face(Nora calls wipes "noses" b/c they are used so frequently on that body part)
Nora: Nose?
Me: Yes baby wipe your nose.
Nora: 'Iccky'
Me: Yes, icky. Please clean your nose
Nora proceeds to blow into the wipe and smear snot from ear to ear. THEN, THEN for the first time in 3 mths of blowing her own nose, she discovers she can close one nostril and get more force!
Me: NO! No shooting snot out of your nose!
Nora: giggle, no comment, blow again
Instant snot walrus out the right nostril!!! I'm driving thinking, "Oh gross! How am I going to sanitize the carseat!" While Nora giggles about it all behind me.
