Our Week

A very rare snuggling with Dada

We caved and let him do his puzzle at the dinner table...but he ate breaded green beans! (We called them french fries)

One night, we had a little extra time so we baked Easter bunny cookies.

After I set out all the cookies on the sheet, he thought it would be fun to stack them like blocks.

Yummy!

Puzzle Genius

We kept hearing from his teachers at daycare about how he LOVES doing puzzles and their amazed at how quickly he can do them.  They've been bringing some of the older preschool puzzles into their classroom just for him and then all the kids cheer when he finished a new one.  We really wanted to witness this, so I ordered a couple 48 piece puzzles on Amazon.  They arrived on Saturday so we watched him in action.

It was absolutely amazing to watch!  He didn't have a picture of the finished image (I did Google it for my own reference) and he used the colors and shapes to put it together.  I was so baffled watching him do this and seeing how his little brain works. 

He had so much concentration and patience with the puzzle which is so unlike anything else that he does.

We watched in amazement as he put the whole 48 piece puzzle together.

He was so proud when he finished it!

On his first try, he did almost the whole thing himself with just a few hints from us.  Since then, he's probably done the same puzzle 6 more times and he does it all himself pretty quickly.  It's just such an interesting thing to watch and he's so quick at it.  I don't know what this means for his future career, but we could see engineer or architect with these skills!

Connor-isms - March 2014

He got 2 stickers at Homegoods and then stuck them back to back.

Connor: Mama, fix it!

Me: Sorry, I don't think I can fix it.

Connor: Dada fix it!

Me: Dada can't fix it either.

Connor: Kitty fix it.

Me: Kitty can't fit it either.

Connor: Get the tools.  It's broken.



Grammy: Who wants coffee?

[silence]

Connor: Me!



Connor: Mama, I go pee-pee on the floor.



While looking at the expressway in the waiting room at the ENT...

Connor: I see baby bus!



Connor: Look at my face! [His version of "look at me" or "focus" when we need him to pay attention]



On the drive home from daycare:
Connor: Mama, I need chapstick!

Connor: Mama, I wanna go shopping!


Connor's current favorite thing to say: I turn Mickey on.

When his mac & cheese was too hot...
Connor: Help me blow my dinner.
