About Face

Dear Connor,

The other day, you were looking at your reflection in the bathroom mirror while you were washing your hands. Afterward, you proudly told me, "I like the way my face is made." Me, too, sweetheart!

Love,
Mom

Snuggle Time

Dear Connor,

When I was helping you get ready for bed last night, you asked me, "Can we snuggle?" How could I say no to that?

Love,
Mom

Lost Hats

Dear Connor,

We have two more months of winter left and you have already lost three winter hats! Three! Grrr, I can't keep buying you new hats!

Love,
Mom

All A's

Dear Connor,

I checked your grades online today and on the three math tests you've had this year, you scored a 94% on the first one and 100% on the second and third ones. Awesome job, sweetie!

Love,
Mom

Tummy Trouble

Dear Connor,

I said I had a stomachache today and you asked me, "Why does your stomach hurt? Are you pregnant again?" Hahahahahaha, NO.

Love,
Mom

King Luther, Jr.

Dear Connor,

It's always interesting to hear how you interpret the things you learn. Today, for example, is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day so I asked you what you learned about the man in school and one of the things you told me was, "King Luther, Jr. [you mixed up his name a little] died so he's going to miss his birthday party today."

Love,
Mom

Health Nut

Dear Connor,

I recently introduced you to rocky road ice cream and you asked me what was in it. I told you that it was chocolate ice cream with marshmallows and almonds and you said, "Oh, then it's healthy because it has almonds in it and almonds are healthy." Yep, that's my reasoning, too!

Love,
Mom
