Connor Lou

My precious Connor Lou

He is named after Mark's grandfather, Louis. We call him Pappa Lou, so it only seems natural that Connor's middle name has been shorten from Louis to Lou as well.

With his 4th birthday just days away, I may (just may) be seeing the light at the end of the terrible,torturous threes tunnel. Only time will tell, I suppose.

The things he says these days keep me laughing. And sometimes I have to try not to laugh in front of him. Here are just a few examples....

I gotta go poop. (To Colton) You wanna come watch?

I asked Connor what kind of cake he had at a birthday party the other day.

Little pony-tail

(It was my little pony)

We haven't been here in a long, long time ago

me-Do you mean a long time?

No, a long, long time ago

And his latest (in the bathtub)....

my booty has balls

me-what???

my booty has balls

he then lays back with his feet practically around his neck and says

see, my booty has balls and I can play with them

(as he is holding and squeezing his man parts)

So with his 4th birthday party already planned and scheduled, Connor is busy planning his 5th birthday. Can we just get through this one son?

We are still very much into Spider-Man. He still wears his costume, DAILY. Only now, he has added red socks on his hands as part of the costume. And sometimes it is worn with BatMan boots. He is a confused Super Hero. Of course Colton is into everything and anything Connor is into. So most of the day all I hear is the "spu" sound of the boys spinning their spidey web. If they are not doing that, they are fighting (play fighting). I guess some things just come naturally to boys. I am having a hard time understanding transformers and star wars and fighting in a cage (???- I think wrestlers?). Unless Mark lets them watch things that I don't, I have no idea where they get it from.
