Great Wolf Lodge

Dear Connor,

We spent a couple days at Great Wolf Lodge last week and you and MuiMui had so much fun! Here are some highlights from our vacation at the indoor water park:

-Your section of our hotel room was designed to look like a camping tent, which was pretty cool, plus it had a bunk bed and your own TV!


-They had kid-sized water slides that you absolutely LOVED. The look of pure glee on your face every time you rode down one--I'd never seen you so happy!


-Lila was too small to go on the water slides but her face lit up just as much as yours while she played with the small shooting fountains of water all over the water park.

-In the pool, you liked putting your arms around my neck and "swimming" on my back. You said I looked like a mermaid :)

-This wasn't exactly a highlight, but I learned an important lesson: Contrary to what I thought, swim diapers do NOT hold in pee. We were waiting for our lunch and MuiMui was sitting in my lap in her bathing suit and swim diaper when I felt a gush of warm liquid streaming down my legs. Ew ew ew ew ew.

-There is an outlet mall near Great Wolf and Mommy had a great time in the Coach store!

-You had such a blast playing in the water park on our first day and were subsequently so tired afterward that you totally passed out at dinner and fell asleep right in our restaurant booth.


Ha! Definitely a sign of a good trip!

Love,
Mom

December Quotes

Dear Connor,

Here's this month's edition of cute and funny Connor quotes:

"I'm thankful for my mom. She gives me snacks that make me big and strong." -- You made a Thanksgiving project at school and this is what you told your teacher to write on it.

"Are you going to tell Mommy?" -- You went to the bathroom at school and while you were in there, you decided to empty the paper towel dispenser and put *all* of the towels in the toilet. When your teacher saw what you had done and reprimanded you, this was the first thing you asked her.

"Did you miss GuhGaw? [switching to a high-pitched voice to impersonate your sister] Yes, I did, MuiMui said." -- You said this to Lila after you had come home from school. So funny!

While watching The Pioneer Woman and seeing the amazing brownie bites she was making:
You: Can I go to her house?
Me: No, she lives far away.
You: Can we drive to her there?
Me: I don't know where she lives.
You: Can I go through the TV?

"Mommy, I can't see my eyes!" -- You kept trying to by rolling your eyes up into your head and were genuinely distressed that you couldn't see your own eyeballs.

"You're the cutest baby ever" -- You said this to MuiMui while hugging her and it was the cutest thing ever!

Love,
Mom

You have learned how to spell your name, as well as the words cat, rat, hat, log, dog and fog. Nice!
