Dear Connor,
You came up to me today and told me that I am a good mom. I said, "I try." You responded, "You don't try, you do."
Thanks so much for that, sweetie! That made me feel really great.
Love,
Mom

Three Outs
Dear Connor,
If you were to list, in order, the people who call me the most, it would go:
1. Daddy
2. PoiPoi
3. GongGong
4. Your school nurse
Seriously! The nurse seems to call me every other week. You have either crashed into someone on the playground, started having a coughing fit, complained of a headache, developed some weird rash after eating a cupcake (true story) . . . The reason for today's call was the first example I listed (which is also the most common reason your nurse calls me). You were running around the playground during recess and bumped heads with another kid. Like I said, that has happened many times before and like those times, you were fine but today, the collision knocked out your loose tooth! You have officially lost three baby teeth!
Love,
Mom

Different Tastes
Dear Connor,
I cooked sausage, bean and barley soup for dinner tonight and when I was cleaning up the table after everyone had finished eating, I noticed that you had eaten everything except the cannellini beans, MuiMui had eaten everything except the carrots and DiDi had eaten everything except the sausage.
You like spinach ricotta ravioli but not butternut squash ravioli. MuiMui likes butternut squash ravioli but not spinach ricotta ravioli. DiDi doesn't like either and just eats the outer pasta part of the ravioli, leaving the filling.
You eat pasta with tomato sauce. JieJie and DiDi eat pasta but not if it's covered in tomato sauce.
You and DiDi enjoy grapes, applesauce, oatmeal and peanut butter. Your sister hates grapes, applesauce, oatmeal and peanut butter.
MuiMui and DiDi both eat strawberries, oranges, pineapple, yogurt, string cheese, cashews, pistachios, corn, cauliflower, shrimp and California rolls. You won't touch any of that.
Gaaaaah. Meal planning for three kids with three very different palettes is. A. Huge. Pain. Sometimes, I just want to give you all cereal for dinner and be done with it :-P
Love,
Mom
