The Connell Chronicles: Can you believe it!! Another post!

Let’s see, some heart warmers for the past few weeks. I am going to say that by far two of the sweetest things that he has done so far that were his own initiations of expressing his wuuuuuv was a few weeks ago I was leaving Mom’s and headed out to work and was rushing out the door like no mother should :) and was telling Brady that I loved him and to be good and that I would see him later. KKIITTTT, he beckons? So me spelling it out on here it looks way more obvious than what he sounded like. So I am trying to figure out what he is yelling at me as he is leaning over the couch… hmmmm… OHHHHH YOU WANT A KIIISSSSSSS? He smiles (poor things just get so relieved when you find out what they are trying to say to you when you are struggling with it) and says KIIIITTT! Puckers up and gives momma a big ol’ kiss on the lips. JUST PUSH ME OVER WITH A FEATHER, SO SWEET. Last weekend after he woke up around 5 am he refused to go back to sleep unless I was in bed with him (I know, not a good habit which I hope you know I can already see it forming!!). Well about 6 am I have my eyes closed and feel these little lips giving momma a kiss to try to get me up AGAIN.. lol. Just sooo freaking sweet!!

CHAAAAHHHHHTTTTTTTIIIITT MIIIIIITTTTT! AKA, Chocolate Milk. Chocolate Milk is the number one screech in our house. White milk will no longer do, it must be chotat milt. Chotat Milt is also the name for chocolate milk from now on :). I can’t stop saying it. Although it being yelled at you and window shaking volumes is not so cute, the words themselves are so cute!

Speaking of high octaves, there is no other option. I realized this past weekend that he literally had not said anything without yelling it hahaha.. MOOOOMMMAAA! CHAAAAHHHHTTTIIIITTT MIIIITTTT! JUUUUUUUUU! DAAAAADAAAAAA! Sheesh. He’s lucky he is a cute mean kid sometimes!

The cuteness still beats the angry tot actions anyday.. One morning we were leaving to go to mom’s and he looked back and saw that daddy’s car was gone and he turns around shaking his head and puts his head in his hands and says OHHHHHH NOOOOOO DADA WORKING. So cute.

He has been waking up between 2 and 4 a lot of nights, as in for the last couple of MONTHS. Killing me! Well I read that sometimes when kiddos have wakeful spells, they have a hard time putting themselves back to sleep if the same music, projector, noise machines, etc. as they had when they were falling asleep are not still on. So I decided that I am going to put a CD that he listens to on on repeat… HE SLEPT ALL NIGHT LONG. Son of a gun!!! One or two nights he has woken up beckoning for me but I will take a smaller amount of nights rather then NONE! I tell you what.. waking up to someone screaming at you.. as in hollering, as in DEMANDING, as in not crying but being bossy… that is NOT THE WAY YOU WANT TO WAKE UP.. EVER! It’s my fault for being such a pushover but man I wish I would have noticed this a little sooner.

Siiiighhh….

You know what though, I still look forward to seeing him EVERY.SINGLE.DAY when I get off work… even though it isn’t usually long before I have to threaten the time outs when he gets home as he tries pushing weenie momma, I absolutely adore him and these stages as they quickly go by! I even look forward to the early mornings (most of the time :)) in which he has the sweetest gesture of waking us up at 6 am every morning on the weekends to enjoy an even longer weekend ;). He is the best, along with the tirades of seeing just how far we can be pushed, he also has learned so many kind and sweet gestures. The sweet kisses overrule anything, but the sweet words take a close second. Every night since he has been a teenie guy we have talked about what he is going to dream about when we are putting him to sleep after the books have been read, the teeth have been brushed, the lights have been turned out and we are snuggling and bouncing before I lay him down. Well he has now started to immediately just start listing things as soon as the lights have been turned out.. GIGI, PAPPY, GAMMY, MAAAANNNN, ‘COOL (SCHOOL), COOKIES, JUUU, MILLLTTT, BATTIITT (BASSET), PAYPAY (HIS COUSIN PAYTON), JAADDUNNN (HIS COUSIN JACKSON), BABY AAADDUUNN (HIS COUSIN ADDISON), and then sometimes momma and daddy get a shout out too haha. His most recent sweet shout out is BAAAABBYYY OOOWWWEEENNN.. SO SWEET!

He is loving some CHOO CHOO SOUL and will sing it over and over any time of day! We will soon be working on potty training for big boy school that he will begin soon!! He has started realizing what the potty is and saying it a lot. He doesn’t like the little toilet we bought that will give him the royal shout out and sing at him when he pees in it. I let him pick out his cushioned toilet kiddo seat, Mickey Mouse he picked OF COURSE :), and he loves that thing. There has been more than one time that when searching for him he is found sitting on the potty.. BYE MOMMA he says :). That is also a sign for NUMBER 2’N none of your beeswax get the heck outta here Momma :). BYE MOMMA usually means that a fantastic odor will soon follow the little HI MOMMA I will get once “it” is over and he is ready to be changed. I say, READY TO BE CHANGED VERY LOOSELY, that is still a chase around the room event.

Well I will close this once again, and leave you with the fun pictures!

Look at these beauties! These are one of my most fantastic friend Jerre's twin baby girls!
