I can't believe it's September already - where does the time go?



We've been pretty busy since we came back from Tybee. Mommy and I spent a lot of time together this summer and did lots of fun things. We tried to make it to Memorial Park and the Bear Hollow Zoo once a week, often times with my friend Hudson and his new baby sister, Harper. We celebrated Hudson's birthday at the park, where we played, fed the ducks & turtles goldfish crackers, and had cake and ice cream.


When Mommy headed back to school this fall, I headed back to Ms. Mary's to see all my friends. With Ella in preschool most mornings, I am now the big man at Ms. Mary's :) My new favorite friend is Elijah, if you ask me who I play with all day, that's who I'll say. Even though he's a lot smaller than me and I really like him and like to share all of my cars with him too.


Since I am getting older, Mommy & Daddy decided that it's time for me to get a big boy room, so before school started Mommy painted the extra room upstairs so that when my new furniture came in, it would be my new room. I was suppose to move into my new room during the first week of August, but my new bed came in broken, so I had to wait another whole week to get my new room. Mommy and Daddy decided to decorate my new room in surf boards, the beach, and shells, since I loved the beach so much this summer and we have a lot of shells from my Grandma Lynne's house. I love my new room and love to show it off to everyone new who comes to the house - I call it "my new (nuu) room."Sounds pretty cool huh?
Mommy will post pictures soon!

So, since we were on the whole big boy thing this fall, Mommy and Daddy decided that I was getting to lazy with my potty training and they decided to sign-me up for O'Mara's Potty Bootcamp. So one Saturday morning I got up and they immediately put me in big boy underwear (Lightning McQueen, of coarse!) and shorts. After several attempts at asking if I had to go potty, I told them no and kept playing. The next thing I now, I look down to discover that my pants are now soaked through and that I have pee going down my leg onto the floor. Daddy told "I told you this would happen if you didn't pee pee in the potty, I guess you're going to have to learn the hard way" - I just chalked this up to bad luck and figured that I would remember the next time. At that time Daddy asked me if I had to take an "eww" and I told him no, a couple of minutes later, before I realized what was happening and what to do, I pooped my pants and had to walk like a duck into the kitchen to tell Mommy. Needless to say we went though 8 pairs of underwear that day (and we only had 6 pairs at the time), but I am proud to say that Sunday went significantly better and that I am getting better everyday and most days not even having an accident!!!

My new favorite ride is the 4-wheeler, Mr. Randy next door has one and he lets Daddy and I ride it all the time. Here are a few pictures of us, the last time we rode.


A couple of weeks ago, Mommy and I took Daddy to Memorial Park, since he had never been to see the animals. We took my new soccer ball too. Here are a few pictures of us playing soccer and seeing my favorite animal, the bobcat.


So far fall has started out great, I can't wait for more adventures. I'm spending football Saturday's with Nana and Papaw, Grandpa Dennis is coming for a visit in October, and Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Bunny are coming up for Thanksgiving. It's going to be a great fall, I'll keep you posted on all of my new adventures!

Love, Connor XOXOXOXO
