A few gems

Just a few recent gems from our three-year old...

On our way to the OSU beaver game this past weekend:
Connor's Dad: "Connor do you want to be dropped off with Uncle Troy while we park the car?"
Connor: "OH BOY! Troy will be excited to see ME!"

While drawing a picture of yours truly:
Me: "Connor where are my arms & legs on your picture?"
Connor: "I don't know. Your head is just SOOO big. There's no more room."

In an attempt to get Connor to sleep in a bit later:
Me: "Okay Connor. Here's the deal. You can get up when the clock says 7:00. Don't get up before you see the seven."
Connor: "Okay, Mama. I willn't."

After Connor gets up, I hand him a sippy cup of milk...as has been our routine for ummm... three and a half years. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. One morning he replies: "OH! Kank you Mama!" as if I am the most thoughtful, most wonderful mom ever for getting him this super unusual, ultra special treat.

BUSTED!!

The girls have been into stealing each other's toys for a while now. But this is something new...Kaia just got busted trying to steal Ashlyn's sock. Seriously, K...there are plenty of socks to go around. I think between the two of you we have approximately 43 pairs. And gobs of them are actually clean without your sister's toe-stink on them. I guess we should just get used to the clothes stealing (or shall we call it "sharing"?) between these two.

Night Light

As Casey was putting Connor down to sleep for the night the following conversation took place:

Connor: I fink I need you to leave that light on.
Connor's Dad: No, its too bright. Don't you think it will be hard to sleep when it is so light in here?
Connor: I fink it is harder to sleep when it is so dark in here.

And thus, Connor's sad parents who have been making him sleep in the scary, scary, deep, dark bedroom all these years decided to purchase him a new night light. So far, Connor thinks that the new night light is "not that light" and could use a few more watts. However, it is light enough, apparently, to guide his little feet right out of his room whenever he wants to get up. 15 minutes into his nap...light enough to see him out. 7:00am...also light enough for him to get up and get on with his life, without any real notice (such as a call out) except a tiny squeak of the door opening.
