Privacy Please

No pictures, just a sweet story. 

Tom and I have been working on "give Mommy her privacy please" for a little while now. You know the drill. You are enjoying a nice hot shower, and-BAM!-in walks your favorite little guy or gal, letting the steam waft away from you to only give your freshly shaved legs goosebumps all over again. So, again, "give Mommy her privacy please."

Today, I got out of the shower and as I'm standing there drying off, Connor's walks in. I said, "Give Mommy her privacy please," and he just stared at me quickly, grabbed the door handle, shut the door, and went about his movie like it was no big thing. What a sweetie pie. Giving me 3 minutes to myself...What a selfless act.Thanks bugaboo for being such a great listener...

Trucks, Trucks, Trucks!

Connor eats, sleeps, and breathes trucks right now. He loves any kind: backhoes, dump trucks, diggers, tractors. You name it!. This isn't even the last of it. He has more books in his crib and can be heard babbling in the morning, pointing to all the trucks in his books. I love it! He can name all of his trucks, and I think that is so cool for a 21-month old. 

P.S. "I am a Backhoe" by Anna Grossnickle Hines is amazing. Connor loves imitating the pretend moves the little boy does for each truck, as well as making the noise, "beep, beep, beep." I'll leave it to Becky to judge for herself and review it in her Sandbox Book Club. ;)

Hammers and Drills

It was 75 degrees yesterday, and our house needed some curb appeal. Tom and my dad went straight to work- sharpening our edges, adding grass seed , and mulching the beds. Connor loved hammering and drilling, right alongside Papa, of course...

Cousin-ly Love

Connor had so much fun with his cousins, Ben, Camryn, and Ethan. We went hiking, climbed rock walls, and experienced many things together at the Discovery Place here in Charlotte. Love you guys!

Oh, I also got them cleaning...

and, relaxing...

and, splashing...

Mr. Fix It

Having a little boy is so much fun. It is amazing to watch what interests Lil' C. Right now, it's trucks, trains, and buses. But, what happens when his remote control dump truck is broken? It's time to fix it. Oh, yes, he knows what that means and what drawer to get the screw driver from. He is our little Mr. Fix It. 

 Now, if only we could stock up on the right size batteries...

Connor's Little Secret

I think Connor's trying to tell us something...

Someday, bud. Someday, you'll be the best big brother!

Doooo!!

I don't know where or how it came to this, but Connor is in some serious Wiggles love. He calls them, "Do." Sounds just like it, doesn't it? More often it's "Doooo! Or, "Do?" Either way, it's one of his few demands in this household. We watch them on t.v., listen to them at bedtime, and even in the car. It seems that I have become numb to the wiggling fingers, Wags the dog, and Dorothy the Dinosaur, but Connor has complete adoration towards them. I must say, they have taught him a few good moves. Maybe I'll break them out at the next party I'm at. His second favorite move is spinning around in a circle. That comes at the end. Enjoy!
