Connor fun!

Connor loves loves loves music! Some favorites include: Neil Sedaka kid CD, "Dora the Explorer" music (especially the 'back pack' and 'map' songs), opening music to "Sponge Bob" and "The Backyardigans", "The Wheels on the Bus," "I like to Eat Apples and Bananas", and "Good Night Sweetheart" (song from Three Men and a Baby). Oh and definitely "Patty Cake"...you have his ultimate attention if you break out that song and dance! Anyone that rides in my car knows its like a circus on wheels...nothing but Baby Einstein and other kid songs. I have a feeling Connor will be quite the dancing boy once he is able to : ).



Ever try to dress a child that doesn't stop moving?! I would compare it to trying to catch a hotdog on one of those rotating things at the gas station.....with your hands tied behind your back!!! (Not that I have ever tried that or would EVER eat one of those). Guess I'm trying to say its rather difficult! Putting shorts on a kicking child is another task in itself as well! It goes like this- one leg in, try to put other leg in, 1st leg gets pulled out, start over...this goes on several times!


Does Connor need any more fun stuff? Probably not. Will that stop me from getting him more stuff? Probably not. We had this inflatable pool from when Connor was too small to go in the big boy pool. Figured out rather quickly how much work it was to get the water in it, keep child happy, clean up, etc...so thought I would fill it with plastic balls and have our own ball pit at home! He thought it was rather interesting. We practiced our colors while holding each ball, slimed a few balls, kicked a few around, then he was pretty much over it! We'll try it again later! : )
