Connor and Mrs. Jolene at their Thanksgiving party Connor is such a funny soul. At his parent teacher conference a few weeks ago his teacher, Mrs. Jolene, was very excited to share a few nuggets of wisdom that Connor thought he should share with his entire class...and now I will share them with all of you for your enjoyment...
~On the very first day of school Mrs Jolene asked all of the kids to draw a picture of themselves. Connor drew the standard head, body, arms and legs, but in addition to the "standards" he decided to include another very important part of his body...a floating third leg right smack dab in between his two other legs. Mrs Jolene asked him "What is this part of the picture?" and Connor announced quite proudly to his class "That is my penis." There are two funny things I must add 1) the "3rd leg" was as long as the other 2 legs (he has great self esteem apparently) and 2) it was not attached to his body, but just floating in mid air in the general crotch area. I have the actual picture and it will be saved to embarrass him at a later date :-)
~The day after I gave birth to Bennett, Connor was VERY excited to tell his classmates all about it...I mean who could blame him, he now had his very own little brother! So during snack time Connor was bragging to all of his friends around the table...Mrs. Jolene decided it was time to move the discussion on to another topic when she heard Connor telling every one "And he came out of my mom's bum!"
I would just like to thank Mrs. Jolene for remembering to tell me these stories (and saving that picture he drew) because they made me laugh really hard and I can totally see Connor saying those things...it's just so Connor!
~One more thing I have to add...a few days ago Connor, Ava, Bennett and I were driving in the car. Bennett was going on his fourth hour from the last time he nursed so he was screaming bloody murder. Actually it was past the point of screaming and to the point of wheezing/hissing because he was so upset {that is the worst feeling for me btw, I HATE being in the car when my baby is so upset and there is NOTHING I can do about it :-( } So all of a sudden from the way back where Connor sits I hear him yell to Bennett "Bennett, PLEEEAAAASE stop crying, your penis doesn't hurt anymore! You don't need to cry!!" He was referring to his circumcision, which happened like 3 weeks ago. When he had the circ we told Connor to be very careful with him because it was sore down there and every time I changed Bennett's diaper Connor would come running over to take a look and see if it was getting better...he was very concerned about his little brother's wee wee, and after seeing all of these stories put together I think he's just overly aware of that area of the body in general!!

Connor is definitely all boy!!!
Gotta love all of his funny comments :)
I am laughing sooo hard right now. Gotta love the sweet innocence of a child. Love it!
OH MY GOSH, HE IS HILARIOUS! I think I have the perfect girl for him, Elle! The two of them could have quite a "hay day" together! Elle drew a picture of my Dad with a "3rd leg" as well only I don't think she totally knew she what she did. He is TOO FUNNY!
Well, while we're on the subject, Aviva is obsessed too. With NOT having a penis. She is constantly trying to stand up to pee. When I tell her she can't because she doesn't have a penis, she starts chanting it over and over at the top of her lungs.
Austin's preschool teacher is Mrs. Jolene..ha! Good to document bc if you are like me I forget these cute little details I think I'll remember forever! btw...we are in Cali and want to see you guys! I'll call you!
