Other Happenings

I have no picture to go with this story, but we have been obsessed with the Olympics at our house. They are on constantly and Connor's especially taken a liking to swimming and running mainly the latter. We taped the Men's 100 and 200 meter first and played them for Connor who has been running ever since. We have to say, "On your mark, get set, go!" as he sets himself up in front of the fireplace and then runs several laps around the house. For those of you who saw Usain Bolt win the 100 meter, he finds his mother in the crowd and then runs around with the Jamaican flag. Yes, Connor does the same, finds his mommy and runs around with his flag, aka. blankie blue. We've had to set a limit on how many times we'll replay the races because it gets old after 3 or 4 replays several times a day! Maybe he'll aspire to be an Olympic runner someday.
Just a cardboard box and a couple of friends.
I took dinner to our neighbors last night, the mom is a new member of the Mom's Club I'm in, and they gave us this baby doll for Connor. We'd been talking about how Connor says he has a baby named Keaton in his belly so I thought I might buy him a boy baby doll to have when Keaton actually arrives. They'd done the same thing but their little boy wasn't into the baby. Connor was so excited when I brought him home. We gave him a bottle and wrapped him up and he said the baby was crying so he'd better pat him on the back and sing Rock a Bye Baby. Later he told me Keaton wanted a brownie for snack and that he burped and something came out of his mouth also known as spit up. I guess that's from the books we've been reading about what babies do. Keaton slept with him last night too. We'll see how he is when the real version comes along.
Wearing his shirt from Australia that Lindsay and David sent him. He says it has the swimmer guy from Finding Nemo on it so he's happy about that.
