Happy 5th Birthday, Connor!

February 15, 2008

We can't believe he is 5! It feels like yesterday we were making deals with God next to an incubator! He had a fantastic day! He woke up at 5:55 (he was born at 5:54, eerie, eh?) . I started to sing to him and he said, "I love you, mom, but could you not sing yet because I have to open Grandma and Pop-Pop's present first!" He has been staring at this big package all wrapped up for 5 days. He was so excited when he opened up the Pirate Ship! He took the cannons off and had to hold onto them in the car all the way to school! When he got home, Aunt Jeanette was on the phone and he opened the Cars PJ's from Timothy, Gordon and her! He is still wearing them this morning! Aunt Bernadette called and she quickly got dismissed by, "Can I talk to Cody, please?" Geez. Poor Mark had to bribe the dog with a french fry to get him to talk to him! Aunt Jenn and cousins called after that and Connor answered the phone with "Hi, Emma and Ian!" For his birthday, we brought him to a pet shop and told him he could get either a tortoise, turtle, gecko or fish. He has been grieving Mugsy a lot lately, bringing his picture with him everywhere we go! Even on little errands. Mugsy used to cuddle him when he was sick. I think he missed this a lot the last 3 weeks. Anyway, he picked fish! He has 2 guppies. He thought of naming one Emma, because the red reminded him of Emma's hair! He ended up naming one Sharkbait ( Nemo Movie) and one Connor....after himself, of course! We had a pirate ship cake (Thanks to the mold that Aunt Cathy sent up!) and he opened some clothes from Mom and Dad, a hat and gloves from Murray and Sue, and some camping clothes and a remote control car from the Roths. The picture attached someone took at my school on Valentine's Day. When I get his birthday pics and pics from Eleni and Megan's visit this week, I will post them.
