April washed away and May grew very quickly

Ok not sure if anyone got what I was saying in the title. I was trying to make a funny and be quirky. U know April showers and May flowers. I know if I have to explain it, it was bad. Oh well!! So time has flown by and my life has not stopped. Since my last blog Connor and I have had many adventures. We traveled with Nana to the big Metropolitian city and met with an old friend. A friend of our's Gabe came to Texas from Colorado and we got to sit with him and catch up on all the good times. Then that night for dinner we got to go eat at Pappadeux's. Scott happen to be in the city also at the time for work. So we all met up and ate dinner and then headed home. Another exciting and fun thing that we did was we got to go to the Zoo with K.K. (Kids Kingdom). I was really lucky because I teach next door to Connor's class and I have Connor's teacher's little boy Abe in my class. When I heard that Connor's class was going to the Zoo, I asked Abe's mom if she would switch classes with me for the day. She so gratiously said yes and we were on our way. It was so much fun and a nice day to go to. During April and May Connor got to go to some pretty fun birthday parties. Woo Hoo, Happy Birthday to you!!!!! Our first was Eliza's 3rd Birthday. Now there was no way that Connor would have let me let him miss Eliza's party. I do have to let you know what Eliza's invitation said it was so creative and cute. "You're invited to join Eliza as she says: "Bye-Bye" to diapers at her 3rd Birthday Party!!! Now is that not the best. What it was, on Eliza's birthday she was going to finally take the big step and be a big girl and use the potty. Her mom had tried to get her to use the potty before then but Eliza had decided that she did not want anything to do with the potty intill she turned 3. I told her mom wow her and Connor were to much alike!!! I did not know if he was waiting for her or what when he was having so much trouble. Thankfully he didn't!!!!! Then the next weekend we got invited to another party for Noah. Noah was turning 3 also and he was celebrating it by going swimming. We were pretty excited that we got invited by Noah, so we went. Connor put on his swim trunks and stepped in the water and kept walking and walking and walking and plup!!!! Down he went into the water of course right as I was going to tell him to stop!!!! Noah's grandma has a really neat pool. Oh yea don't worry Connor was fine, scarred but fine. Back to the pool. It has on one side a really large platform under the water so the water is probably only about 2 feet deep. It has plenty of room to sunbath or for the kids to play on. So needless to say Connor did not swim the rest of the afternoon. I felt bad for him and when I got my heart back to its original place, we had fun ne-way!!! The really good thing that Connor did when he fell off the step was that he immediately began kicking his feet. It look like he was trying to swim on his back. I think that is a step in the right direction!!!!!
