I am so excited. Why you ask? Rachel (my niece) just completed a babysitting class on Wednesday. She was so excited because they gave her a bag of goodies to take with her, to entertain the kids she babysits. So like a good cousin she came down and tested them out on Connor. Oh, how he loves his Chachel. (that is what comes out of his mouth when trying to say Rachel) The bag of goodies included: balls, playdough, coloring pages, bubbles and crayons. Rachel and her mom assumed that the balls and bubbles would be the hit items. They were right! Connor loved both of those items. He threw the ball around with Rachel until it was time for her to leave. We walked her to the door and watched her ride away into the sunset. With tears in his eyes Connor kept saying "Chachel, Chachel, Chachel" until he saw a red truck and thought it was Keif. (that is what he calls Keith) Rachel always does a great job entertaining Connor and I know she will have plenty of babysitting jobs ahead of her.
There is no greater privilege in living than bringing a tiny new human being into the world and then trying to raise him or her properly during the next eighteen years.

A Sleepy Connor
Well...Connor did not get to take his full nap yesterday because he decided to fall asleep at 4:30. I had to wake him up before Eddie got home and plus who wants their kid to fall asleep for a nap at that time. Anyways, so last night it was time for bed and Connor decided that everything hurt his feelings. He started crying and making really sad faces. So like any good mom would do...I got the camera to take pictures of this event. Now, grandparents that are reading this and thinking what did they do to my baby...I just want to let you know after I took each picture he wiped away the tears to look at himself on the camera (while smiling at himself). Then he started again. Between the crying he would say "mommy, mommy" then as you can see he would cut his eyes at daddy. This went on for a least a good 10 minutes. It was so funny to watch him and know that he was so dramatic. I don't know where he gets that from. ;) He sure knows how to put on a show.
