Connor funnies...

Before I forget..

We were in the car and for the first time in well over a year I hear Connor say, "Look Mom! There's a 'windy car'!" I just love this. We never called convertibles by this name....just something he came up with on his own a long time ago. I think he's pretty smart... :)

On Sunday, Father's Day, Brian was cutting the grass and I offered to use the week whacker ("Grass Hog" I think) around all of our metal edging. Meanwhile, Connor was running around outside playing with whatever. Then I saw him pour water on the side of my car out of a plastic cup he retrieved from the kitchen.... Not the best plan to pour water on a car while it is still in the garage. This pregnant mama does NOT want to slip and fall, that is for sure. Then I saw the spray can of sunscreen on the floor. I picked it up...WAY too light. I'd gotten onto him earlier in the day for spraying it (while sitting at the kitchen table). I asked if he sprayed it. "Yes, I washed your car." Holy cow. Almost an entire can of sunscreen all over the side of my car and windows. What I witnessed was "rinsing". Oh boy.

I'm ashamed to say that I barely even looked at it. I just got the can away from him and reprimanded his actions...even though he already knew what he was doing was wrong. Of course this is after he spread mulch all over the driveway with the giant broom... Oh, he was in rare form on Father's Day.

Anyway, all of that to get to the story from today.... This is as told by Brian because I was not there.

Brian and Connor took my car to the car wash to clean all the sunscreen off. Connor told him the windows were "burly". :)

He meant blurry.

He also asks us to "fer-cord" and "fer-lete" shows from our DVR. We aren't sure why he adds "fer" but he obviously means "record" and "delete". And along those same lines, when a show comes on he asks, "is it fer-corded?" or "is it going to cut off" (because it records a few extra minutes of shows, so he frequently gets to see the first few minutes of another show before it cuts off).

Connor told me in the bathtub tonight not to worry when he lets the water out...he is too big to fit down the drain. Also, just fyi....Herons that fish in our lake (and have an amazing ability to eat multiple whole fish in minutes) "don't eat boys". You are right kiddo. Girls on the other hand may need to watch out. :)

God knew to make kids super cute. It increases their chances of survival into adulthood dramatically. :)

I am so fortunate that I have really liked all of the stages of Connor's life so far. I was not one that wanted him to stay a baby forever, but I am looking forward to experiencing all of the "firsts" all over again with Declan. 3 3/4 is a lot of fun too... I look back at videos from what doesn't seem like that long ago and he has grown SO MUCH in what is really such a short amount of time. Humans are amazing.
