Connor Turns 3

It’s hard to believe Connor is 3 years old.  It feels like yesterday that we brought a little 6 lb 11 oz bundle home from the hospital or celebrated his baptism surrounded by friends.

Today, he weighs in at 28 1/2 lbs and stands at 3ft 1 in tall.   He loves airplanes and telling stories (which we are LOVING!).  He knows how to count to 20 and all his letters.  Now its Mommy brag time…

• He can spell his name!  Dina surprised him with a “Connor” cup last year when we were in San DIego and he loves it!  He sits and says the letters over and over.  The other day, the cup was sitting on the counter completely out of sign and Connor said…. “Mommy, I want my C-O-N-N-O-R cup”.    Since then he’s spelled it a few more times over!  It completely surprised me!
• Left / Right – So we work on little things all the time like counting and letters and patterns and shapes and right and left.   I figured the last one was a push since there are some adults that still need to hold up their thumb and finger to figure out the “L” .  However, Connor’s got it!   One day he said to me “this is my right hand”. 

Funny Stories---We are headed out on a flight on Thursday to visit my Grandma.  Connor was so excited to go on the flight yesterday that we had the following conversation:

• C:  Mommy when we going on the airplane?
• M:  Thursday
• C:  No, we go today!  Go on airplane today!
• M:  We can’t go today, we have tickets for Thursday.
• C:  Then go get the right tickets for today!  We go today.
• M:  We can’t go today, nothing is packed yet.  (With that, Connor turned around and grabbed a random stack of clean kid clothes off of the couch that I had been folding) and said,
• C:  We all packed now.  Let’s go!

Make my heart smile and melt moment--- I was getting the kids dressed this morning and Connor pointed at me and said, “You my friend”. and then said the same to Drew “You my friend.”.  Then he wrapped his arms around my neck and said, “Mommy, you the best!” 

He is growing up!  Sometimes he seems like such a big boy and sometimes he just comes up to me and wants to snuggle (I love those days).  Here’s your pics!
