Film Friday: A Dinner Conversation

I was going through some videos from this summer and I found this clip from one of my dinner table conversations with Nora.  We were talking about being a grown up when I decided to get out the camera (hence the “I told you already!” when I asked her what she would do as a grown-up).  That day, we had also gone in for our first (and only) peek at Peach, so we ended up talking about the ultrasound and when Peach will be born.

It’s funny as I go through my videos how many of them are taken around our dining room table.  Partially that is due to the fact that I’m only shooting them with my DSLR which doesn’t have a huge memory card so I can’t shoot too much video without my computer on which I can empty the files.  But it’s also partially because sitting at the table, just the two of us, is when I have the best conversations with Nora.   I love how much she talks and the things she says; I’ve been fascinated for a long time with her language development and the little window it gives me into her mind, and I want to preserve that piece of her so she can someday see what she sounded like as a baby and toddler and preschooler. Most likely, videos like this are completely boring except to us and our parents…I know there’s only so much watching videos of other people’s kids talking that I can take, but I thought this was sort of funny at points, so here it is.  Just as a warning, she does accurately state what will happen after my tummy gets big, so if you’re squeamish about hearing the “V” word from a not-quite-three-year-old, don’t watch.  🙂

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
