Aren't I handsome? That's what he seems to be asking us with that look.
Today was a special day for all the moms in Connor's preschool class - it was "Muffins for Moms" day. All of the moms got to come in and have a special breakfast and receive a special handmade gift from their child. Connor is proudly showing off his flower picture frame of himself. There was also a butterfly stenciled card with more of the same flowers and his name (sort of) written inside. He starts off well, with the "CON" part, but he writes so big that the end gets very squished and hard to read!
You might remember a similar day not too long ago for dads, where Connor made another picture frame that said "I love you to pieces" that was decorated with puzzle pieces. Have I mentioned how much we love his preschool and his teachers? We do.
Today was also the school Easter egg hunt, where the kids all brought in filled eggs that were "hidden" (aka dropped all over the floor in plain sight) in the music room. The kids had a "counting exercise" to get their eggs. My son, of course, had to return a few after all was said and done. He had more than his fair share of 14 filled eggs - he was closer to 20 before I tossed a few back on the ground. And smart little guy that he is, he was discriminating as he picked up eggs. He bypassed a whole bunch of eggs, opting for some that were slightly larger (more than half of his were this bigger size) and also for the sports themed eggs (little footballs, baseballs and soccer balls).
After school, he was in for an even bigger treat. Aunt Kelly came over to take him out for the afternoon. They're going to watch Monsters v. Aliens at the theatre, with popcorn and coke, of course (since he refused to eat any lunch for me before he left). There also was talk of picking up a late lunch / early dinner and taking it to the park for the rest of this beautiful afternoon.
It's rough being Connor, let me tell you. Rough.
