Our big boy

Connor is growing up so fast! The things he is catching on to and picking up are so cute. Yesterday we were in the cry room for stake conference and he was playing with a boy, when the kid took a toy from Connor he yelled no, no, no at him all the while shaking his finger.  Ha, guess he picked up on that one from his parents.

He is really big into cleaning now. Whenever he spills something he grabs the nearest napkin or towel to him and starts scrubbing it up. He is awesome at helping to pick up his toys. Usually, all I have to do is ask him to help me clean up and he will start picking up toys, all with a smile (well, again, usually). He loves to sit up on the counter and watch me wash the dishes, I haven't been brave enough to let him play in the water.  The dishwasher is another story. He helps with every dish he can. He puts the ones away when he can reach and hands me the dishes that go up high. He finally now understands that after the clean ones come out we leave the dirty ones in.  Every meal he helps me set the table. It started out as a way to distract him from whining because the food isn't ready but now, he loves to do it and always has to put the forks right on the plates.

We have been really working on saying family prayer together every night before time. Last night Connor just melt both of our hearts! I told him it was time to say prayer and he ran over to the couch, knelt down, folded him arms and laid his head down on the couch.  He stays still during the whole prayer and says, "Yay" after it is over.  Meal time prayers are a little hard sometimes because he gets so excited to eat his food!
