Norah is special. <g> She seems able to identify silly, and she likes it. (I’m
sure that’s not true. After all, she’s a baby. <g>)

They are the height of fashion these days. Apparently. I’ve seen them on other
babies. One advantage to them, if that’s what you call it, is that it makes it
less desirable or necessary to do the whole blue/pink thing. The ah, growing
problem with Norah and head ribbons is that they accentuate the size of her
head. She’s in the 97th percentile for head circumference. We do hope she grows
into it. <g>

She’s extremely interested in books and pictures. Kinda spooky sometimes. But
then both parents are librarians. And dad’s a published writer as well. So she
comes by it honestly.

I should do that. And you’re right. Tina says her next big project is the
outside, and I kinda rue the day because once it doesn’t look like a dive,
you’ll have to be there for the 5 a.m. opening to get in. A couple on their way
back to wherever they came from told Tina they’d stopped on a whim, and that
Ship’s was that special place they always hoped to find when they traveled.

Put it on the list for when we finally get out there.
