can't get enough

dear connor,

now that you are in bed for the night after such an amazing weekend... i knew this was a great time to recap the last couple months and this weekend.

saturday you attended your first wedding.  my good friends, ally and jake, joined their lives as one.  you were hilarious!  i am now confident you are like your dad in every single way possible... you dance like a white boy and i love it!

on sunday, despite me studying and you hanging out with grandma for a few hours, we had such an amazing bonding day.  you wanted to be around me at all times.  you were so loving and fun.  you have had some really amazing days lately and it has really made the bad ones not even exist in my head.  i just really never believed when other parents told me that one good day could make five bad days go away... but it is so true that it isn't even funny.  you haven't had a true bad day in weeks.  you have been nothing but incredibly fun.

these last couple months you have accomplished things people told me were impossible at your age.  i knew it wasn't impossible because you are, obviously, your mothers child ;).  okay okay... that was slightly conceited but i feel my education speaks for itself.  back to the important part, your progress... you are a genius, or at least i think you are.  you have started counting to 10.  i think the simple fact that you understood numbers before letters makes you MY CHILD.  finally, something i can relate to you about... YES! ;)  you did also start singing your ABCs but i am very adamant that you definitely are going to be a number person.  i am over the moon about that thought... even if you end up a criminal justice major or journalist.  for right now, i am pretty happy about all of this.... so basically, by 17 months your brain has taken over.  you talk in small sentence form, you recognize new words and things, you understand my sentences, you count and sing your ABCs.  that's pretty major... just in case you were wondering how absolutely amazing you really are!

i think this is the point where i should wrap this up and get back to studying and cleaning before this new week hits me in the face :).

i am really blessed to be your mommy.

with all my love,
mom
