My little Connor

My little boy.  How even when he is turning my hair gray I just want to love on him!  He is 2.5 years now (can you believe it!) and is just as cute as ever.  As you can see he has curly hair (who knew!) and has an attitude on him like his mama :P  But most of the time he is such a sweet and loving boy.

Connor's first school picture

First off, HOW CUTE IS HE!  This is Connor's first school picture.  I can't even get over how cute my little guy is.  He had a couple of others that I don't have on here but man, what a lady killer!  He is doing SO WELL in school.  He comes home singing songs, counting (not really in the right order, he can get to 10 then its a crap shoot after that) and he is learning so much!  He is such a little smart kid!  So much in fact that they are moving him up to the next class at his school.  Connor is currently in a class that is called "2s" where everyone in his class is basically 2 - 3 years old.  We they have another little one that is coming into their 2's class and they need the room, so Connor being the oldest will be moving up to the next class called "Transition" which is the 2.5-3.5 year old class, which prepares them for preschool.  His teachers aren't very happy (because they love him so much) but as they always say "its time to come, grow and go" We just love his school and his teachers.  Even though it is so hard to have to work and be away from my kids, I'm so glad that he is in a loving and caring enviorment that is teaching him things that I never could (since I'm not a teacher)

As you can see from above, he is also really good with his baby sister. But since Emma is becoming more mobile, I am noticing more "no Emma that's mine" and "no Emma don't do that" which makes me laugh because she doesn't understand and keeps doing whatever she is doing and then he gets mad.  So cute :)

Happy Mothers Day

This year since Connor is in school, he got to make something for me for Mother's Day.  He made me a planting pot with his hand prints on it and in Polish (thanks to Jonathan and Connor's teacher Bianca" it says "I love you mommy, Happy Mother's Day" and "Plant a seed, watch me grow!"

Daddy let him pick out and plant the flowers all by himself!  While I was at my mom's house with my sister for Mother's Day, Jon took care of the kids and helped him plant this plant and some other herbs.  It was a perfect Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Swimming with Cousins Caden and Shayla

Every Wednesday Connor goes to his Dziadek's house to play with his cousins.  This year Andrew got a little pool for them to play in and its perfect! (in fact we got one too!) Its got just enough water in there for them to actually swim. Which will be great because we will teach Connor how to swim in it this summer.  His first couple of times in the pool have been a little sketchy (with one instance of me jumping in the pool with my clothes on since Connor slipped and went under water) but yesterday when I came to get him, he was in the tube and he was floating!!  He'll be a swimming fish in no time!!

He loves playing with his cousins.

Stay cool this summer everyone!  I know we will with our cool pool!!
