Priorities, Mom...

I know I owe lots of pictures and retro posts, but I wanted to write this down before I forgot.

Yesterday, Connor and I were out in the snow. I shoveled about 2/3 the driveway and then it was time for sledding! We had so much fun!! Connor was disappointed that the snow is all powdery, so we couldn't make a snowman...or even snowballs for that matter, but he LOVED the sledding. He went down by himself and with me. We will likely venture to bigger hills next time.

Anyway, I shoveled the driveway just a little bit more after our sledding and Connor approached me with a request: "Mom, gloves off, peas...[I need to] pick my nose". I just died laughing. I removed his mittens and he immediately started digging around up there! I'd told him it was almost time to go inside, so after picking his nose, he walked straight to the garage and let himself inside. Needless to say, I stopped shoveling. I guess sometimes, getting a "boogie" out is more important than warm hands.

These pictures are NOT from yesterday , but a couple of days ago when I took Connor for a walk in the sled (taken with my phone). Poor kid has a rough life....he had a pillow and insisted on being covered up. When the sun got in his eyes, he simply covered his head with the towell. He looks a bit like a mummy to me. :) He had a more delightful look on his face yesterday!

On another note, we are on day 5 (sorta) of potty training. He has had several really good days. He had school on Wednesday and although they have told me that they are happy to work with them potty training, I think we'll wait until week 2 or 3 before I send him with only big boy underwear (and several sets of clothes). He has yet to poop in the potty, but I've been bribing him with a "present" and 5 M&Ms if he goes in the potty. Maybe today is the day. I will say, that he has the cutest little diaper-less butt. His clothes just look so different! Continue to wish us potty training luck!!
