Who needs a man when.....

you have a five year old stud?! Konnor is such a great kid - (so are the other two of course) -but he really is my little superman! In fact, as we were preparing to make room for the tree, these were his exact words...."Mom, let me move that plant for you - I need to learn to do this stuff on my own because, you know, pretty soon you are going to be too old to do it!" How bittersweet my little friend! So - he moved the plant, he moved all the boxes in the garage, he hung the star, he plugged everything in (with a little help from his Mommy), he packed things back up, he helped hammer the candy cane stakes into the ground outside, he hammered the nails into the doorway for the lights, hung the wreath - AND passed out at 7:30 pm. Thank you, Konnor. You are the best little boy Mommy could ever ask for! He does these things on a daily basis for me - makes my heart melt. He's learning really fast what it means to be a man, I am so proud of him. Wait, did I mention that he also picked up the whole entire house on Saturday without me even asking him to? We made a disaster of a mess playing with cars, farms, and blocks on Saturday afternoon - naptime rolled around - Quinn and Hunter fell asleep and Konnor got to work without me saying a word. Whew. This Mommy is proud.
