Conner said his first prayer this week. His first prayer went something like this:
Heavenly Father
Thank you food
Thank you day
Thank you church
Thank you kids (what he calls his friends in nursery)
Thank you mommy
Thank you daddy
Thank you Conner
Thank you Caleb
Thank you Jesus Christ
Amen
Nothing compares to the sweetness found in hearing Conner pray for the first time. What a wonderful boy he is :)

If You Give Your Toddler a Piece of Toilet Paper
If you give a toddler a piece of toilet paper, he will want to blow his nose.
If he blows his nose, he is going to want to put it in the toilet.
If he puts it in the toilet, he is going to want to flush it.
If he flushes the toilet, he is going to have so much fun that he will want to flush it again.
If he flushes the toilet again, he will want to flush the toilet again.
If he flushes the toilet again, the toilet is going to overflow.
If the toilet overflows, he is going to want to wipe it up with towels.
If he wipes it up with towels, he is going to want to mop the floor.
If he mops the floor, he is going to want use some Pinesol.
If he uses Pinesol, his nose is going to start to run.
and when his nose starts to run - he is going to ask for some toilet paper to blow his nose.
If he blows his nose, he is going to want to put it in the toilet.
If he puts it in the toilet, he is going to want to flush it.
If he flushes the toilet, he is going to have so much fun that he will want to flush it again.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.... From Our Bathroom to Yours :)
Instead of painting our walls green this year, we decided to have a potty party in our bathroom... Yes, a potty party! Our cute little Conner-man has decided that it is time to ditch the diapers and bring on the big boy underpants.
At first, Conner was not too excited about wearing the underpants... that is when Nate and I pulled out the big guns... we knew that Conner could not resist WALL-E underpants. I am so grateful that Pixar has underpants :) Once those underpants were on, there was no going back. Conner is now TOO big for those diapers :) I love that Conner loves WALL-E :)
Yesterday, was full of accidents. Finally today - he used the potty! We could not be more proud!
The best part of potty training is the rewards. Each time Conner tries to use the potty he gets one M&M, when he successfully urinates in the potty he gets two M&M's, and when he goes #2 he gets four M&M's.
The great part about the reward system is that Conner makes sure Nate and I get rewards for using the potty. I have never been more proud or grateful for my ability to use that potty... I love M&M's. If you need an M&M fix, come on over and use our potty... Conner will be so excited to give you a treat :)
-- Update from the potty room at 9:20 pm. Conner has now successfully used the potty four times tonight! He was ready to go to bed and asked to go potty... at first, I thought he was just trying to procrastinate bed time. He went once, got up, and then asked to go again, and again, and again! I am so excited... this is seriously better than sliced bread :)

Brother Moments... Is it Time to Potty Train??
A couple weeks ago, I was bathing Conner and Caleb together when Conner stood up and said:
"Pee on baby??"
I quickly replied with a "No way dude"
To make a short story shorter... Conner urinated on Caleb.
A couple days ago in the bathtub... Conner stood up and said "No pee on baby" turned his back towards Caleb and urinated on the side of the bathtub... Conner was so proud. I am torn between being proud and frustrated with how many times I have to change the water during bath time :)
