Things I don't want to forget...

I feel like everyday, something happens, usually something Connor says or does, that I tell myself, "Write that down so you don't forget it!" Since this blog sort of serves as my photo album and journal all in one, I thought this might be a good place to jot some of the more recent things down.

Here it goes:

This one has happened frequently actually, and it just melts my heart. Out of the blue, Connor will come up to Maddie, kiss her on her forehead, and whisper, "I love you baby girl. You are my sister and I will love you forever."

Driving in the car on the way to the snow, Connor, with a quizzical look on his face, out of the blue asks, "Does God fart?"

Michael: "Connor, you need to wear underwear to bed tonight."
Connor: "Wrrrrrong Again!"

Connor has been saying this to many of us: "I love you to Disneyland and back a hundred times."

After asking Connor to clean up his toys, he sighed heavily and exclaimed, "O.M.G. Mommy!" Yikes, 4 going on 14 I guess!

In the loft, Michael was telling Connor to pick up his toys. Connor then said, "I'm gonna call a gurgaly (what he calls grizzly bear) to come eat you up. He then proceeds to put his hand up to his ear like a phone and says, "Hi gurgaly bear, I need you to come eat him up!"

Connor: "Mal, does God pee?"
Mal: "I don't know, but I don't think so."
Connor with a worried expression on his face: "So I'm gonna have to hold it in Heaven?"

In preparation for Maddie's 1st birthday party, Connor said, "Don't worry Mommy, I'll clean up everything and make it look perfect!" He then proceeded to go all around the house, straightening things, pick up toys, dusting, etc. He is such a helpful guy!

One night, Connor was in bed and Michael and I were playing cards downstairs. He came to the top of the stairs and said, "Guys, every time you laugh, you wake me up. Please be quiet." Got scolded by our 4 year old!


Connor forgot to bring a show-and-tell item to preschool one day. When we picked him up, Ms. Robyn informed us that he didn't let that stand in his way and instead offered to do a magic trick for show-and-tell. He performed the "Disappearing Hand Trick" that he's practiced many times on us. Apparently his trick was the favorite of the group! I was so impressed with him... coming up with something cool that he could show off on the spur of the moment. I think that showed such originality and confidence!
