Booger Boy

Dear Connor,

Today, I had to explain to you why you're not supposed to eat your boogers. And that's definitely a conversation that, before I became a mom, I never knew I'd have to have one day.

Love,
Mom

Volume Control

Dear Connor,

"MOMMY, I WANT A SNACK!"

"MOMMY, WHY ARE YOU GOING UPSTAIRS?"

"LET'S PLAY TRUCKS!"

"OH NO, WHERE MY DINOSAUR BOOK GO?"

"MUIMUI SO CUTE!"

"I AM TWO YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NO VOLUME CONTROL!!!" 

Okay, so you've never actually said that last one but it's very true--you are SO LOUD. Even when I'm standing right next to you, you must worry that I can't hear you because you *scream* everything. Yikes. I can hear you, buddy, as can our entire street!

Love,

Mom

Best Friends

Dear Connor,

I. Can't. Take. The. Cuteness. Every time I put MuiMui in her baby seat, you sit right next to her, put one arm around her and say, "Connor's best friend."

Love,
Mom

Got Milk?

Dear Connor,

Sweet moment of the day: MuiMui was in her bassinet and starting to fuss and you walked over and put your hand on her stomach. I asked you what you were doing to MuiMui and you replied, "Connor protect her." 

Funny moment of the day: You've seen me nurse your sister hundreds of times so I guess you decided to give nursing a try for yourself. You sat down on your chair, lifted up your shirt and pressed your stuffed puppy to your chest. When I asked you what you were doing, you said, "I'm feeding puppy!" Hilarious!

Love,

Mom

Toy Story

Dear Connor,

It's so funny to see you perusing the Toys "R" Us circular. You're always so quiet, so serious and so studious that it's as if you're reading The New York Times or The Economist, and not ads for Lego sets and Power Wheels!

Love,

Mom 

Verbal Gems

Dear Connor,

You are constantly cracking me up with the funny things that come out of your mouth. Here are some recent gems:

-I read "The Three Little Pigs" to you one morning but I think you misheard me because afterward, you kept saying, "I'm going to huff, I'm going to puff, I'm going to blow your hair down!" and then blowing my and your sister's hair. 

-While PoiPoi was changing MuiMui's diaper, you walked up, looked at MuiMui and exclaimed, "Oh no! I can't see MuiMui's penis!" Guess it's time for your first biology lesson!

-After Daddy changed one of your diapers, I asked you if you had pooped. You replied, "Yeah, I pooped. It was the biggest poop I ever seen!" Yikes, then I'm glad Daddy changed your diaper instead of me!

-Whenever you go in the potty, I cheer for you so now you do the same for me. You sit right outside of the bathroom (you'd sit right next to the toilet if I didn't make you wait by the door!) and when I pee, you shout, "Yay, Mommy did it! Mommy pee pee in the potty! I'm so proud of you! Come here, come here, give you big hug!" Then you stretch your arms out and try to hug me, which I appreciate, but geez, can you let me wipe my butt and wash my hands first? 

-It was really warm today so I put on one of my summer dresses before I took you out for a walk. When you saw me, your face lit up and you said, "Mommy look just like a princess!" Best compliment I ever received!

Love,

Mom
