Our schemer

A comment on our littlest schemer, Norah. This little girl revels in being naughty. It's astounding. An example...while in San Diego, the girls, Jim & I shared a room. One early morning (before 5 am), Norah wakes up and tries to get me out of bed. First, she's poopy. Then she's thirsty. Then she's hungry. Then she looses her woobie. Then her pacifier "drops" out of the playpen. Then she has a "bloody nose". Finally, she wakes up Lolo. And both of them start to gang up on Mom....."Mom, wake up! Hurry up! We're hungry!" Ugh. Jim is cracking up the whole time because for some odd reason, they just pick on me in the mornings.

In direct contrast is Lolo, who never has been a very good schemer. Last night, she gets out of bed and says "Mom, Norah says she has poop." I walk over to their room quietly. Um. Norah is sound asleep. Lolo has been busted. I say "Lolo, Norah's sleeping. Go back to bed and be quiet." As I close the door, I hear Lolo say "Norah! Norah!" Another reprimand from mom. Lolo has a lot to learn from Norah.
