Connor turned three yesterday and as I reflect on the last year I can certainly say that he has made a ton of progress. He is now fully potty trained, loves to play with cars, trains, super mario bros, run outside, play with Allison and Ella and read books. Although he is the roughest and finds himself sitting in time out at least once a day, he is also extremely sweet. He will share his food and toys with anyone and almost always says thank you without any prompting. He still has that extreme excitability that they lose as they get into elementary school. The sheer joy of opening gifts is so apparent on his face. When my mom walked in with his Mario and Sonic cake he held his hands to his face, then his head and had the biggest, most genuine smile on his face. After each gift, he said thank you. He took his time opening every present and just seemed in control despite having lots and lots of girls surrounding him:) We had a wonderful family party on Sunday which included all of his cousins from the Alguire side (except Anna who was at a soccer game) both sets of grandparents, both sets of great grandparents and Courtney, Max and Ryan. We had a great Easter Egg Hunt, play time, opened presents, had pizaa, salad, fruit, bean dip, cake and ice cream. As we got the cake ready I realized I had no candles so Craig improvised with forks. The girls thought this was hilarious and they even got Connor to "blow" out the forks. Connor will go for his three year appointment in a month and I will give and update then. Until then, we are enjoying all that this energetic boy brings to the family. He really is something else.
