learning to cook

Connor has long been interested in cooking so this morning I decided to let him help me make some breakfast for us.  I am so proud to say that he didn't get a single shell in the bowl when he cracked the eggs ALL BY HIMSELF.  He even shredded some cheese on our grater (with a little help from mom to protect his fingers)

(trying to explain to Connor that it's not nice to tell people you're smarter than they are) 


me: how would it make you feel if one of the kids at school said 'i'm smarter than you are'?
connor: sad.  because then they would be liars 

Report Card

Connor got his first report card today! He can be graded as follows:

M - More time/experience needed (he doesn't really know this)
L - Learning/Developing (he's learning how to do this)
E - Evident (he's definitely got this down)

I am pleased to say that he scored ALL E's except for in 2 areas, where he scored L's.  I am so proud of my big man!

Connor was pretending to be me so I thought I would see where it went and asked him how much various things cost. You'll all be glad to know that milk is only $1 now, cars are only $100, and houses are only $110.

Happy Thanksgiving

a visit with Santa and Mrs. Clause at a birthday party we went to. 

Connor: (hands me an index card)
Mom:  What's this?
Connor: it's a card that says "for Connor" in case you want to give me any treats in the morning
Mom: (laughing) oh ok, thanks.
