Connor is 4

Connor,

I can't believe you are 4 years old!  You have grown so much in the past year and it's been so much fun to watch all the new things that you are doing!

You are the best big brother!  You love Emery and are always so great at letting her crawl all over you. You are always making her laugh and you guys both get so excited when you see each other!  She is going to have a rough time when you start preschool (and you are too…ha…you've already told me that you don't want to go to school)!  You also love playing with your big sis.  You guys love wrestling, playing bad guys, or doctor.  

You continue to follow my sleep cycle and enjoy sleeping in each morning.  We've recently stopped making you nap and you tend to pass out by 7:45 or 8 each night.  There are days when we have to wake you up at 8:45 or 9 and other days you are up by 7:30 (this is early for you though).  You still sleep with your nineys and typically rub them while you fall asleep each night.  If you nap, you stay awake until 10:30 or 11, which is why we've cut out your nap most days.

You are playing flag football this fall and you are so, so excited!  You love riding your bike and also love swimming!  I'm convinced that sometime in the next year you will be swimming without floaties and riding your bike without training wheels.

As long as you aren't extra tired, you are relatively easy.  You love playing with your toys.  You love your race cars, planes, ninja turtles and still will pull out your trains every once in awhile.  You are picky, but will typically eat what we put on your plate (and half the time its a struggle, but you eat…..). I feel like you could eat an endless amount of cake, ice cream or any sweet for that matter.

These days you are so, so silly!  And you are loud!!  We are definitely seeing the 'boy' in you.  You are so rough with Emery and we are constantly telling you 'be gentle.'  

Connor, you are the coolest little boy!  You make us laugh each and every day!  Happy 4th Birthday to you, Bubs!!
