How Norah is like Nunchucks.


Can't see the correlation there? Read on...... I have become very accustom to doing about 17 things at once. Women are known multitaskers and I am no exception to the rule. At any given moment I can type an email, make a sip cup for my toddler, read a book to her, answer a call for work, plan dinner for the evening, blow my nose, kiss a boo boo, coordinate the weeks activities and bounce an infant on my knee like a nervous twitch. Norah has become more than an accessory to my daily routine, but more like an appendage. I can whip her up on my shoulder and carry laundry to the bedroom, flip her from one arm to the next while nursing, and funnel her around my legs as she safely lands on the play mat for tummy time....All with ease and grace, not a thought put into it. I picture myself as a super hero with Norah as my nunchucks....if you get to close, you could be harmed in the shuffle of my daily routine. And all the while....Norah, giggling and farting as we go. Mothers are what make this world go around......
