What was OLD is now NEW

We pulled this bouncer chair out for Caleb yesterday morning. Guess who LOVES this chair? I find it completely ironic that Conner HATED this chair when it was age appropriate. Now that he can run, jump, and hop - all he wants to do it play in this chair.

Out of the Mouth of Conner

A couple weeks ago, I woke up from a nap to hear Nate teaching the phrase "mommys hot" to Conner. I quickly tried to combat this phrase by teaching Conner to say "daddys hot".

I feel much more comfortable with Conner saying "dads hot" at church or playgroups rather than the alternative phrase of "moms hot".

Nate did not agree. Whenever Conner would say "dads hot" he would quickly say "no, moms hot"... I reacted the same way with a quick "no, dads hot".

At church on Sunday, I was asked to help in the nursery for the third hour. I was MORTIFIED to hear Conner say clear as day "mommys hot... no, daddys hot... no, mommys hot... no, daddys hot".
The nursery leader quickly looked at me and asked me what he was saying. I lied. I said that I had no idea what he was saying... sorry Kim :)

On the way home from church, I immediately addressed this situation with Nate and the fact that we have a parrot for a toddler. He did not find any humiliation in this situation but rather praised Conner and once again said "mommys hot". YIKES!

Going to Work!

Conner's new favorite game is to play "daddy". To play, he finds his set of keys and truck.

Before getting in his truck, he comes up to me and says "Work mom... kiss?" He then gets a kiss, hops in his car and drives around the house. After he has driven his car around the house, he comes up to me and says "home... kiss?" He then plays for a minute to eventually repeat the game again.
