Boy Toy
Connor has a new love in his life, and it comes in the form of a blue 4 wheeler. The first 2 weeks we had the 4 wheeler, we had to pry him off of it to come in and eat or to go to bed. Ben and I had visions of a very chubby 5 year old because of the lack of physical exercise. But after 2 weeks the excitement wore off and how he just rides it for about an hour a day....that is if he has been good during the day. We have a chart now where he earns 10 minutes of riding time for doing good things, listening to mom/dad, helping his sister out, and just being a nice boy. But then he loses those minutes everytime he doesn't listen, talks naughty, or is mean. The first day he lost all his minutes, but learned very quickly that he needed to be good, and it has worked pretty well ever since. I just have to remind him about his minutes and he usually changes his attitude. We now have something very important.....LEVERAGE! And it is an amazing tool in behavior modification!
And he loves to give EVERYBODY a ride on it too!

Five
This handsome young man turned 5 years old... last month!
We celebrated by seeing the movie Despicable Me and eating popcorn and drinking juice boxes.
He opened a few presents and exclaimed, "This is the best present EVER!" as he opened each present. And continued to thank me throughout the day for his new toys, and for taking him to the movies. (So sweet)
He's becoming such a young man who appreciates the little things in life.
He loves more than anything to turn on some music and show off his newest dance moves....which oddly enough have been resembling my tap dancing abilities.
He would also love to spend his entire day playing outside....especially now that he has a new toy outside....but you'll have to wait to find out what that one is.
He started PreK again this year and looks forward to it everyday. Ask him what he learned in school or what his favorite part of the day was and he will reply, without hesitation, recess. Last year he had a girlfriend the first week of school and it lasted the entire year, however in class he only ever played with the boys. This year he tells me he doesn't want a girlfriend, but everyday he is telling me about how he played with the girls...go figure.
Just this week he decided he was too big for cartoons and only wants to watch "adult shows" and he only wants to watch discovery channel. It's pretty hard to find a show on tv that is not a cartoon and is an "adult show" that he can actually watch, so we watch a lot of animal planet now.
He is becoming such a sweet, caring, responsible young man. He is my blond hair, blue eyed, foot taller than all his classmates, karate kicking, bike riding, break dancing, country singing, sister loving, baby....err....big 5 year old boy. And I love every single ounce of him!
