Monday my baby boy turned 5!!!!! Yes, I am still a little shocked, where does the time go? He was so excited to turn 5 that he counted down for about 5 days. Every morning he would wake up and say 5 more days, 4 more days, etc. His birthday finally came and it was such a fun day. We celebrated by having a party at the Helper Pool. We invited 10 of Connor's closest friends and had a blast. We swam, had cake and ice cream, and of course opened presents. The kids were so funny. I love how they all huddle so close just to see what the present is. Connor got a ton of Transformers stuff that he absolutely LOVES!!! Later that day we took him to dinner to Winger's. They sang to him and gave him a huge serving of asphalt pie. Candee got a cute picture of all the kids chowing down. It was hilarious, they were so worried they weren't going to get enough, but believe me, there was plenty. We then went to see Grandma Archie at the hospital. A week ago today she went in for a hysterectomy (she had been diagnosed with Uterin cancer). She was doing pretty well, but Sunday she took a turn for the worse so she is back in the hospital. She really enjoyed seeing the kids and Connor was happy he got to "see grandma on my birthday."
Now that Connor is five he has agreed to stop sucking his thumb. We took away his jimmy (a pooh bear blanket he has had since he was born), but luckily Logan, Kella, and Landon got him a new Transformers blanket. He has been doing pretty well with it. I have had to remind him a couple times and last night when Rory went to put him to bed he was under his new blanket sucking his thumb. I figured it was going to take awhile, I am actually really suprised he hasn't asked for his jimmy and that he is doing as well as he is. I bet in another week he will be cured!
Kadee with our neighbor and babysitter Makenna, Kadee LOVES her!
Update: About a month after we took the "jimmy" away Connor found it in the basement. Once again he was hooked. Right before Christmas 2009 he decided he didn't need his jimmy anymore and got rid of it himself. He has all but stopped sucking his thumb and did it all on his own. He is such a big boy and we are so proud of him.
