My sweet Connor. We’ve spent a lot of time at the trailer this summer and you are getting so comfortable in the water now that I’m looking forward to seeing you progress in swimming lessons more quickly this winter. We spent a week up there at the start of July and like usual you made me laugh on numerous occassions about cute (and smart) things that came of your mouth – I love your thought process. On the drive up, you closed your eyes and said “Mommy, I’m going to go sleep now because that makes us get there faster”. I wish I had a better memory so I could remember all the other adorable things you say.
This first image was taken just before we went frog catching at a nearby pond. You made us release the frogs after and it made my heart burst with love and pride that you were showing compassion for living things at this young age. You are so good with Jessie so it shouldn’t have surpised me though.
You still love to cuddle with me every chance you get and I am dreading the day when you get too old to be cuddling with your momma. I know the time will come soon enough and because of that, I have been a little lax about sleeping arrangements and most nights I find you and your brother in my bed at some point. But for the most part you are becoming very independent, wanting to do everything on your own.
But you do have your days of drama. You are quick with your temper but also quick to get over things. You usually make me laugh when you are having a little meltdown about something but I have to hide my giggles because it’s not acceptable behaviour. Here’s a perfect “Connor” face lol.
But all in all, you are an amazing little boy. You are active and imaginative and extremely intelligent. You are sweet and thoughtful and you are passionate. I love you.
