You are a super star!

(This picture cracks me up--she was SO excited!!)

I wrote this last night.....

• Today was Norah's super star day at school. Norah counts down the days the week before her super star day. This morning she asked to wear her Hello Kitty shirt from Aunt Shelly (this is her prized special occasion shirt) and a bow from her friend Annabelle. All of the kids in her class are assigned a day of the month to bring morning snack. That is their super star day. They can bring a book from home to share and pick out one of the teacher's colored necklaces (like Mardi Gras beads) to wear. Today she chose green. She also asked to bring fruit or veggies for snack so her friend with many allergies could also eat the snack. We brought fresh veggies and hummus. They also had a Mardi Gras party and made necklaces.


• Norah is taking a computer class on Mondays at school. Computer Tots is a small business with a teacher who brings her computer and activities to schools, etc. And although I can't quite envision where they set this up, Norah really enjoyed her first class. They learned about the mouse, arrow keys, and did some animal related activities. There are only three other kids in the class, and at the end of the month, we will decide whether to keep doing it next month. So far, so good!


• Norah is also taking swim lessons again. It's her first class without a parent in the water. She is having a lot of fun, but I was not allowed to take pictures when I tried. I didn't even think about all the privacy issues we face these days, and sadly, with little kids in bathing suits, it becomes a bigger concern so the Y had to create this policy.



• Steve is also as busy as can be, but he has not wanted his picture taken lately. He probably has plenty to report, but his most common answer to questions these days is "it's hard to explain." He is a busy preteen!
