Here's Connor's special day so far: When the clock struck midnight, the Birthday fairy found him fast asleep on the living floor. He had a fit when I put him in bed last night, which was a problem because his bed is in our room and my dh really needed to sleep. So, I put him in the exersaucer to watch the wonderful Cedarmont Kids while I did a late night kitchen cleanup. That bought me a whole hour!

Finally, he started fussing, I changed his diaper and left him on the floor while I finished the dishes.  He actually laid right where I left him and fell asleep!  

1:00 a.m. I started mopping the kitchen floor. (Yes, at 1:00 a.m.!) OK, it had been awhile, I admit. It took 3 passes across the whole room to get the water to run clear. An hour later, I finally crashed on the couch, since Baby Connor was still asleep on the floor.

3:00 a.m. Connor woke up crying. So, I took him to bed with me.

7:30 a.m. Connor awoke on his Birthday morning, made a beeline for the edge of the bed, and landed on the floor with a thud. Happy Birthday, Buddy! (Awww, he was fine! Tough kid!)

10:00 a.m. 3yo Trevor decides that Maple Syrup would double nicely as a new brand of shampoo. Note: Trevor HATES to have his hair washed. So, after the earsplitting screaming that ensued, Connor decided a nap would be a good way to escape the chaos.

12:00 p.m. Connor joins us once again. And here we are. The kids sang to him, but for the sake of my out-of-town SIL, we're pretending that his B-day is not until Saturday. That's when we'll have the Par-Tay!
