Growing Up Too Fast

Dear Connor,

Today was the day your baby sister took her first steps. It was also the day that you told me that I no longer have to cut your chicken nuggets for you because you are a big boy. You both are growing up way too fast!

Love,
Mom

Dirty Talk

Dear Connor,

The other day, I asked you if you were touching your penis because you had to pee. You replied, "No, I'm touching my penis because my penis is so big."

Today, you were working on a wooden picture frame craft. It had a little wooden stick that you were supposed to push into a hole in the back of the frame to make the frame stand up. You couldn't do it, so you came up to me and Daddy and asked, "Can you put my stick in the hole?" And because we are immature like that, Daddy and I started cracking up.

Love,
Mom

The Birds and the Bees

Dear Connor,

So we had this conversation today:

You: Is Alex my daddy?
Me: Yes.
You: Why?
Me: Because he helped make you.
You: He helped make me? With what?
Me: Uhhh . . .

Love,
Mom

Connor To The Rescue, Part III

Dear Connor,

Today, you told me, "I'm a superhero that protects MuiMuis and babies."

Mom

Anatomical Curiosity

Dear Connor,

Daddy lost his keys, so a locksmith came to our house today to change the locks. And while the locksmith was talking to Daddy, you chose that moment to go up to Daddy, ask him loudly, "Do you have a penis?" and try to pull down Daddy's shorts so that you could see for yourself. Oye.

Love,
Mom

Connor To The Rescue, Part II

Dear Connor,

When we came home from your school today, you asked me why I locked the front door after we came inside and I said it was to keep the bad guys out. Then you told me, "If the bad guys come, I'm going to shoot them and make them cry because I'm a superhero." I asked you what your superhero name is and you said matter-of-factly, "Connor Superhero." A reasonable choice.

Love,
Mom

Connor To The Rescue!

Dear Connor,

You were so sweet today! We had to take MuiMui to the doctor for her one-year checkup and when the doctor was getting ready to give her her vaccinations, Daddy held you back so that you wouldn't get in the way. When Lila received her first shot and started to cry, you started crying, too, struggled to get out of Daddy's arms and shouted, "Let me go! I have to protect MuiMui! I have to protect her!"

You are an *amazing* brother :)

Love,

Mom
