Turkey and Teeth!

Below are some pictures that Connor made at school in November. The body of the turkey was his foot. We have a nice fat turkey since his foot is a little wide like the rest of the Sanders :)

I forgot to mention on my Thanksgiving post that Max got his first tooth on Thanksgiving day!!! It just barely broke through the gum, so you can't really see it yet...but it's through finally!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a small, but very good Thanksgiving. I cooked almost everything, which was a first for me, but it all turned out pretty good! Here are a couple of pictures from the day. Getting a picture of the four of us is next to impossible, but here is the best we could do!

Almost Crawling

Max isn't there quite yet, but he's almost crawling. Here is a picture of him trying on Thanksgiving Day.













Max loves to play with balls. Here he is playing in one of his new favorite spots.

Soarin', Flyin'

Here is Connor singing a little High School Musical.

Thankful Part II

They sent home a little feather from school that they are going to use to decorate a turkey. We were supposed to ask Connor what he was thankful for and write it on the feather for him to take back to school. When I asked him he said "I am thankful for you and Daddy." (Completely unprompted or directed, I might add!)

A Mom's Secret Desire

Do any of you mom's ever get a little jealous of how great your husband can be with the kids? Shawn is much better at playing with Connor than I am. They just do boy stuff, and I kind of just hang back and watch. I have to admit that a teeny tiny part of me feels jealous.

When we put Connor to bed the other night he wanted nothing to do with Shawn. It was all, "I want Mommy to do it" and "No Daddy, stop. I want to sit in Mommy's lap." If I'm being completely honest here, it wasn't Connor's finest hour. He was being mean to Shawn. Had the tables been turned, my feelings really would have been hurt. (I know he's only 2 and that's silly, but hey that's just me!). Anyway, we talked about that not being nice and how he shouldn't say things like that to Daddy. Sadly, that little jealousy monster in me got a bit smaller through this whole ordeal since I was the favorite at the moment. How horrible is that! Has my desire to be the best Mom I can be turned into a competition for his affection?

As always, Connor kept me in check. After Shawn had given him his goodnight kiss, I bent down to give him his goodnight kiss and Connor said, "No, I don't want a kiss from you. I like Mimi better." OUCH...that's what I get!
