Imagination

I'm so interested to see how Connor uses his imagination these days now that he's getting a little older.  He shocked both of us last night at dinner with his creative ideas!  I made ABC chicken nuggets for dinner and he happened to get an L nugget.  He picked it up upside-down and said, "Hammer!" He used it like a hammer and hammered the top of his sippy cup.  After a couple bites of nugget, he held it up again and said, "Horsie! Neigh!" I'm not sure where this came from, but I do think it slightly resembled one of those horse heads on a stick for kids to ride on.  I don't even think he knows what those are, but he seemed to be very confident that his nugget was now a horsie. 

He's such a cutie!

Our Weekend

Daddy and I went out for a date night and Aunt Julie came over to baby sit.  Little stinker took advantage and did all the things he knows he's not supposed to be doing like turning the lights on and off, climbing on our bed, and being naughty!  But we forgive him because he's adorable!  I know they did a lot of play-doh and cleaning with his cleaning set while we were gone too.  

Since Mommy was tired, we came home early and shared a little chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick with Connor.  SO good!

On Sunday, the boys let me sleep in a little and I came downstairs to find them hard at work putting the new blinds up!  Surprise!  Connor is such a good helper when it comes to using his tools with Daddy!

Great job on the blinds, boys!

Our special brunch party with Mickey to come in the next post...

Miss Terri, one is his teachers, has been saying how impressed she is with Connor's building blocks skills.  All the kids wanted to keep knocking down his towers, but they helped keep them away so he could finish!
