Connor isssss Three

Every night when Connor praysss before dinner he thanksss God for snakes. Ssso, I figured if he is that thankful of one of God'sss creatures why not have a whole party theme filled with snakessssssss? We reserved a nearby sssprinkler park and pavilion and the kids had sssso much fun. They laughed and played and luckily it wasssn't terribly hot. Mimi and I made the cake:

On the day of his birthday, I told him today he turned three. He started jumping up and down screaming, "I don't believe it!" Then he talked about how all his people in the world would be calling to tell him happy birthday. On the way to buy his donuts for his "donut birthday party" as he kept calling it, he'd say, "I'm not two anymore. Today I'm three!"

Here are his stats:

Weight: 36lb (75%ile)

Height: 40.5 in (off the charts)

These are the exact same percentages from a year ago. Still says he'll be 6'4"-6'6" and probably still lean! His favorite tv shows are Diego, Dora the Explorer, Team Umizoomi and Bubble Guppies. He is over Elmo and Sesame Street!! He uses really big words and people often think he's older because of his vocabulary. He loves to race! Whether it's eating supper, going potty, etc if you turn it into a race, he's all about it. He likes to use sign language and if he doesn't know the correct sign for a word, he just makes it up. He'll first ask me, "whats the sign for ---?" If I tell him I don't know he'll say, "oh it's this" and completely make something up but be so sure about it. He sings and makes up songs all the time, too. When his song is over, his favorite fan, Reid, laughs and claps!! I need to be better at writing down all the funny words, terms, songs, etc that he makes up. Today he told me he wanted M&Ms and a blackie. I said "a what?!?" and he said "a green M&M and a blackie." I finally figured out he was talking about a chocolate chip morsel!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY, CONNOR!!
