Catching up with Connor

As I described in our family Christmas letter, Connor is a lot like a roller coaster. He's really fun, but he can also be really scary. With him, the good always outweighs the bad, but Conbo likes to keep us on our toes. In fact, recently Connor has developed the habit of asking us, "Have I been good today?" In a way, it's heart-breaking that he could think of himself as anything BUT good, but it shows that he wants to do right.
Connor has started preschool and is right in his element. One of Conbo's many gifts is his charisma. He loves people and - generally speaking - people love him. (Especially the girls - yikes!) Most recently, we were driving one of Connor's buddies (Katie) from church to our house for his party and the conversation between Connor and Katie went something like this...
"Connor, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"Mmmm... a doctor."
pause
"Really?"
"Yep."
pause
"You know... I really wanted you to be a prince."
"Nope. I'm a doctor."
Connor is really getting better at his skating, too. He and David go every Friday morning and Connor is really motoring around out there! We've just signed him up for ball hockey and he'll be doing soccer between now and ball hockey as well. (We're keeping him busy.) I really think that he will continue to love sports because it gives him another avenue for meeting people.
Connor has really developed as an artist as well. Many of you will have already seen his first published piece, but I've attached it here anyways. This one was done by Connor, then he coached me through the little characters he saw on the canvas. I did what I could to highlight them with pastels on his acrylic paint and this is the result!
