Dear Connor,
One of the funniest parts of the day is right before your nightly shower. After we take off all of your clothes and your diaper, you always run naked down the hallway toward the bathroom and shout, "Sexy baby!" After your shower, I wrap you in your towel and you run back down the hallway to your room and again shout, "Sexy baby!" You are too funny, little man!
Love,
Mom

We Are Family
Dear Connor,
Today's meltworthy moment: I was holding your sister and you looked at us, said, "Family!" and then tightly hugged my leg.
Love,
Mom

I Heart Elmo
Dear Connor,
Daddy took you to a Sesame Street Live show over the weekend and got suckered into buying you a giant $10 Elmo balloon (Daddy said that when you saw the man carrying them, you started saying excitedly, "Elmo balloon! Elmo balloon!" and then grabbed Daddy's hand and pulled Daddy toward them, so how could he not buy one for you?). You've been having fun playing with the balloon over these past few days and today, you hugged it tightly and said, "I love you." It was the first time you'd ever said "I love you" without being prompted by someone to say it and um, I'm a little hurt that you didn't say it to me first! But I guess, how can anyone compete with Elmo? :P
Love,
Mom

Super Why Are You Acting Like This?
Dear Connor,
I occasionally let you watch a cartoon show called "Super Why," which is about a group of superheroes who solve problems with their abilities to read (how cool!). This morning, you came up to me and asked, "Watch Super Why?" so I turned it on for you. When the opening credits began, you started screaming, "No Super Why! No Super Why!" All right. So I turned the TV off. But then you started screaming, "Watch Super Why! Watch Super Why!"
Oh my god. What was that phrase you just learned? Oh yeah, you drive me nuts!
Love,
Mom

Bagel Share
Dear Connor,
MuiMui was crying this morning and PoiPoi told you that MuiMui was crying because she was hungry. You immediately started tearing the bagel you were eating into little pieces and offered them to MuiMui. You are such a good big brother!
Love,
Mom

Nuts
Dear Connor,
You just learned how to say, "You drive me nuts." I suppose it's because I say it to you all of the time :P

Bedtime Chatter
Dear Connor,
I put you in your crib at 9pm tonight. After I said goodnight and left your room, you started chatting to yourself. I overhead you talking about train shows, singing the Sesame Street theme song and even counting to 10 in Chinese. It is now 10pm and you are still chatting away. Go to sleep already!
Love,
Mom

Crying Over Spilled Smoothie
Dear Connor,
You love fruit smoothies. You love them so much that you excitedly chant, "Smoo-dee! Smoo-dee!" whenever I mention them to you. You love them so much that you have even been known to drink two at once:
So you were none too pleased today when we were out and I threw away the mango smoothie you had been drinking after you dropped it on the ground. You became so upset when I didn't give you your smoothie back that you spent about five minutes crying and wailing at the top of your lungs, "I'm so SAD! I'm so SAD! I'm so SAAAAAD!" Geez! It wasn't the last smoothie in the world, sweetie! There will be other smoothies! We can get more smoothies!
Love,
Mom

Big Boy Shower
Dear Connor,
Baths are fun. You get to splash around in the water. You can play with cool toys like your tugboat. We blow bubbles. And I amuse myself by doing crazy things with your hair:
But baths take a lot of time. I've got to fill the bathtub, let you play in the bathtub, drain the bathtub and wash out the bathtub every day. And while I love playing with you during bath time, I also have to bathe your sister now, so I'd like your bath time to go a little more quickly. Enter showers!
Once you learned how to stand on your own, I tried making you take a shower multiple times and it never went well. Even though you like playing with the sprinklers at the playground, standing under the shower head in our shower scared the bejeezus out of you. You screamed and cried and tried to frantically climb out of the bathtub. And this is exactly what happened a few days ago when I again tried to make you take a shower. I even stood in the shower with you but you started freaking out before I even turned on the water, clinging to my leg, jumping up and down and shouting (rather dramatically), "I can't do it, Mommy! I can't do it! I can't dooooo iiiiiiit!" But I knew you could because you're such a big boy, so I forced you to. Daddy got in the shower with you and held you while I soaped you up and then rinsed you off, all the while shouting words of encouragement over your cries (not sure how many of them you heard, though). When we were done, I wrapped you in your Elmo towel, hugged you tightly, told you how proud of you I am and gave you a Thomas the Tank Engine sticker for being so brave.
The next few nights, I put you in the shower and you definitely did not have a good time. You cried, tried to squat down in the tub and kept insisting that you "can't dooooo iiiiiiit!" But you did do it every night despite your fear and you got a Thomas sticker each time as a reward. Then today, you did a complete 180 and couldn't wait to get in the shower! After I took you off the potty, you eagerly climbed into the tub and giggled and goofed around while you showered. After I turned the shower head off, you triumphantly stuck your left arm up in the air and shouted, "Ta-da, look at me!" Then you said, "Mommy, Thomas sticker?" Yes, sweetie, you get a Thomas sticker for taking a shower like a big boy!
Love,
Mom

Boob Man
Dear Connor,
Funny things you did today:
-Took your green crayon and drew lines all over your cheeks and chin
-Saw me nursing your sister, tried to go for the boob she wasn't suckling on and said, "Connor eat boobie." Sorry, buddy! I'm afraid that ship has sailed for you!
Love,
Mom
