Most important

If you were to ask Connor what is the most important thing in his life, do you know what he would say? Here are some of the things one might guess;

Me. His Mommy. I'm sure that is everyones first guess because who wouldn't love a meal making, bum changing, non animal knowing mother like myself? I'm a good candidate, I think. I give him his fair share of sweets, I let him watch more Baby Einsteins then is probably healthy. I cuddle him at night if he can't sleep. If you guessed his Mommy - you're wrong.

Another large portion of you would probably guess Mike, his Daddy. I mean, he couldn't live without his Daddy to play with him, watch Cartoon's with him (Mike doesn't just watch cartoons, he WATCHES cartoons!) and do bath time with him. Mike is also a good candidate. Mike shares all of his food with Connor because for some reason, Connor thinks his Dad's food is better then anyone elses. Mike rarley gets to eat his whole meal without Connor pawing through it like it's play doe. If you guessed his Daddy - you're wrong.

How about his grandparents? He has several grandparents, 6 to be exact, whom he loves dearly. Each for their own special reasons. Some of them have fed him beer. One gave him a little sip of rye ("But Jennie, there's way more ginger ale then rye!"). There's always lots of cookies floating around his grandparents house. If you guessed his grandparents - you're wrong.

OK, we're getting low on possibilities here. His Uncles! He has 4 fantastic uncles who he doesn't get to see very often but when he does...lookout. He has a blast! If you guessed his uncles- you're wrong.

Another good guess would be his puppies. Buddy and Jessie. When we come home from an outing, that little boy's face lights up like lava and he shrieks with joy until you put him down to get a bath from his furry friends. Connor and his puppies have a great relationship. They lick him. He bites them, pulls their hair, slaps them in the face, hits them with toys and drops the occasional piece of food for them. It's a give and take relationship if I've ever seen one...If you guessed his puppies - you're wrong.

The most important thing in Connor's life isn't his Mommy or his Daddy, it isn't his grandparents or his uncles or his puppies. It's...

......HIS SOOKIES!!!!!

I don't know what I'm going to do with these three annoying pieces of plastic. He never used to be that attached to his sookies. He had them for naps and bedtime and occasionally in the car and that was it. Now he would walk the fiery depths of hell for those rubber contraptions. And he can't just be happy with one. He has to have one in his mouth and the other two, one in each hand, at all times. I swear he has dislocated his arm trying to get them out of his crib. He's climbed couches and walls to get them off of ledges, he's opened bathroom doors and dug them out of drawers. There's nothing he won't do, no bridge he won't cross to get to his purple, yellow and green Disney sookies. Weaning him from those things is going to be a NIGHTMARE!
