November Quotes

Dear Connor,

Oh, the cute and funny things that come out of your mouth!

"Can we watch TV and cuddle?" --I don't let you watch TV that often, but how can I say no when you ask me like that?

"Mommy is gone now, let's play again!" -- You and Daddy were playing a little too roughly on the couch and I told you guys to stop, so you said that when I walked into the kitchen, but ahem, I could still hear you!

"I want to be Mommy!" -- Your response when I asked you what you want to be when you grow up. I'm so flattered!


"That's enough hugging!" -- Daddy and I were hugging each other and you did not like it!

"I don't want to be sad. I'm happy. I love you, Mommy." -- I was dropping you off at school and you said these sentences back-to-back as we were walking up the stairs to your classroom. A teacher passing by heard you and said, "What a nice conversation!"

"Can I come with you? I miss you when you're gone." -- I was heading out to have brunch with my friends. You're so sweet!

This month's best Connor quote took place while you and I were riding the bus to your school one morning. It was a rainy morning, so the bus was crowded, and the driver and another passenger were having an argument because he had asked her to move to the back of the bus to make room for the people getting on the bus and she didn't want to move. They yelled at each other for several minutes and then the bus fell into an awkward silence. That's when you recounted the argument loudly enough for everyone on the bus to hear:

You: Mommy, why were they yelling?
Me (quietly): The driver wants the woman to move to the back but she doesn't want to move.
You (not so quietly): The driver said, "Move!" and the woman said, "No!" and then the driver said, "What you mean no?!"
Me (silently): Oh my god, please stop talking about this, Connor!

So classic!

Love,
Mom
