A few points I loved:
Nora, I never realized you were so hard core about your table manners!  
Atticus, It's very humorous to me that when someone asks you your name you reply, "Hello, my name is Atticus".  It's very unexpected coming from a two year old.
Clara, your favorite thing about yourself is your one freckle?  Really?  I was sure you would say you liked your fanciness best.
Jonas,  I think it's wonderful that you couldn't think of something you didn't like about yourself.  


Lots of love, Mama
