"The 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 face drawings are some of Nora's earliest efforts (three years old): a face for each day of the five day stays in the hospital to receive chemotherapy. On the first day of each round she would draw all five faces and we would tape them up over her bed. At the end of each day she chose a sticker and put it on the numbered face that represented the day we had behind us." (Bob)

"When she began to write we embraced and encouraged her 'best guess' spelling. She discovered that, yes, basically everyone could read what she wrote (though sometimes she had to help us)." (Bob)
