For those who don't know Nora very well, let me enlighten you. Nora is a tantrum thrower through and through. She skipped past the terrible twos and decided to start when she turned four. Every day with her is a constant struggle, trying to get her to understand where we are coming from. Our days usually end with us thinking she treats us like she is a rebellious 15 year old.

At the end of the day, after many struggles and many times having to walk into another room and count to ten to calm down, I am glad I get moments like this:



I get to watch her accomplish something that has been frustrating her for a very long time. Along with the tantrums, she is very stubborn like her mom. She has been wanting to do monkey bars for a few years and has practiced and practiced.


On Friday she finally accomplished it and her pride in herself was wonderful. I wish she always felt that good about herself.
