six

Nora's birthday isn't today, but I thought I would get a head start since tomorrow looks to be a busy day for me.  
Today she told Michael "Daddy, I'm living a new life now."  He asked what she meant and she said "Since I lost my tooth last night, I'm living a new life now."
Nora is an extremely quick learner.  She is extremely bright and loves to learn new things.  I love watching her read exceptionally well, and tell us about the things she is thinking and learning.  She gets excited when she is able to show off her intelligence. 
 Nora is a performer.  As long as she feels comfortable around the crowd she is in, she loves attention and will do anything to get it.  She loves being silly and making people laugh.  She loves acting and dancing and singing.  But mostly she loves when people clap when she is done. 
 
Nora is beautiful.  I know I am biased because I am her mother, but even if I were not her mother I would find her gorgeous.  She has beautiful skin, curly brown hair, big hazel eyes and a bright smile.
  Nora is very particular about doing the right thing.  She always asks questions like "Is that what Heavenly Father likes?"  or "Is this healthy?"  or "Is this modest.  She even reminds me often of things I should be doing.

We love you Nora.  Happy Happy Birthday to my oldest child.
