Bedtime "Stories"

Recently heard excuses from Connor to delay bedtime:

Excuse #1:

Connor: "Daddy, I have to go potty!"
Connor (10 minutes after a trip to the bathroom): "Daddy, I have to go poo poo!"
Daddy: "Connor, you already went potty. Please go to sleep."
Connor: (1 minute later): "Dad, I have to go potty!"
Connor: (10 minutes after a trip to the bathroom): "Dad, I have to go poo poo!"
Daddy: "Connor, you already went potty twice. You can go potty again when the sun comes up."


Excuse #2:

Connor: "I have a boo, boo!"
Dad: "Where is your boo boo?"
Connor: "On my foot - kiss it and make it better!" (note: he "got" the "boo boo" by laying in bed)
Dad: *kisses the boo boo*


Excuse #3:

Connor: "My bed is broken."
Daddy: "Connor, please go to sleep."


Excuse #4:

Connor: "Dad! The door is starting to close!!!"
Daddy: "Look, I'm putting Tango (the penguin) in front of your door so it won't close."


Excuse #5:

Connor (two seconds after Daddy thought Connor was asleep and shut his bedroom door): "Dad! Dad! Dad! Daddy shut my door!!!!." (said with an emphasis and loud enough that you would have thought the world was coming to and end)



The list will get longer, we're sure...stay tuned!

Kids Say the Darndest Things

This weekend was a "Connor and Dad Weekend" as J. is out in Los Angeles for work and looking for celebrities.

On Saturday we went to the Splash Park in Germantown during the morning and the farm playground near our house in the afternoon. Sunday morning we went to Port Discovery in Baltimore.

On the way to Baltimore, Dad asked Connor, "Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?" "A Dad, just like you!" replied Connor.

That comment made the entire weekend the best ever!

Name That House

Whose house is this? Hint: it belongs to an Emmy Award-winning reality TV star actress.
