This is a picture of Norah listening to the tape I made for her late Tuesday night. She seems to enjoy this Tape Time and asks to listen at least once a day, often more. It does my heart good when I hear her giggling, repeating or singing in response to the cues on the tape. And, I may be imagining it, but she seems to be more contemplative the last few days, even a little distracted sometimes, like she is thinking about something. I've also noticed she needs much less coaching when it is time to do a chore that I mentioned on the tape! So, I think the messages are getting into her head. I hope they are blessing her and helping to mold her precious little heart.
