Funny Toddler Stories

Aww motherly love. What can I say I love him to pieces, he really is a great child and I am very lucky I have had it pretty easy so far. Even though I know we are in the middle or should I say just barely beginning the terrible two's stage I'm hoping all this hard work I put into my child pays off. This morning I decided to figure out about how many words Connor knows. I've written them down a few times since he started talking but can't find the papers so today I will put them in here where they will be saved forever. I have a list of just over 40 words and keep adding to it periodically when he says something else. He says: ball, mama, dada, baby, Helee (Hailey), Nana (Hannah), Papa, more, please, up, ba ba (banana), balloon, book, color, coo coo clock, drink, eat, show, Mickey, dog, nose, ear, eye, this's (this big), there he is (there's), spoon, fork, thank you, na na (love you), meme, mono (monkey in spanish), cheese, cook, hot, go, duck, fish, phone, lion, and shark. He also says baby, more, and please in sign language so cute!



So onto some funny stories...
For Christmas he got a large piano that you step on and it plays music, he absolutely loves it! He dances like a little ballerina every time it plays. Oh Gary's just going to love seeing him dance like that:) He's also super silly he think's it is so funny after he eats to shake his whole high chair by rocking back and forth.... I'll have to get the video camera out more often to record all the funny things he does.


He has really been putting up a fight at bed time, the last couple of nights we've laid him down let him cry for about 15 minds, gone and got him let him watch his show and cuddle for 5 mins, let him pick out what he wants to take to bed and laid him back down then he's out... why he does this we still can't figure it out? The other night he decided he wanted to take his Mickey to bed. Need I remind you his Mickey sings and dances and is about half the size as him (I thought it was off to preserve battery) so when he laid down with him and was hugging and kissing him I was trying not to laugh but he went right to sleep. Gary said he heard Mickey playing at about 2:30 in the morning I guess he wasn't off, but it didn't seem to bother Connor!
