I have mentioned on here before that this year I will be doing a homeschool preschool curriculum (Little Hands to Heaven ) with Connor. We have been preparing things for the past few weeks and are finally ready to get started on Monday morning. I put up my old calendar from teaching and we have used it as a countdown for the 1st day of preschool. Connor runs to the playroom every morning to count how many days until school starts. He can't wait!
The past couple of days I have been working on coming up with a schedule for our day. It is basically what we have already been doing, but adding school and being a little more intentional with some of our other time spent. God definitely wired me to be a person that loves structure and having a schedule just helps me to make sure I have time to get everything done. By no means will our day look like this every day, but at least it gives me something to go off of. 
Along with starting preschool, Connor is now taking on some new responsibilities at home. You may have noticed in the schedule there is a "chore time." Some of them are things he has been doing and some are things we are wanting to teach him to do (wipe off the table, set the table, help with laundry, dishes, etc...). I am going to slowly add more things for him to do to help around the house. I have quickly learned that not only does it help me, but it keeps him busy and out of trouble! :) This past week we have been working on making his bed. He is so proud of his work after he finishes.
Connor is one of the happiest 3 year olds you will ever meet. He loves hard and fights hard. His strong will and determination are part of what makes him so special (and are also my constant reminder from God that I can't do this without His help!) He has enough energy to test you on every single limit and will! His hugs, kisses, and sweet words of affirmation will melt your heart. He has a great sense of humor and loves to make you laugh. His memory still impresses me to this day. He has whole books memorized and will listen to songs until he knows every word. Connor has never met a stranger, loves to go to church, cautious about everything, not a fan of sleeping, could eat raisins and yogurt all day long, loves routine, eager to learn....the list goes on and on. So thankful that God chose me to be these precious boy's mommy.

These are the sweetest pictures of a sweet little boy!!! Connor is going to love school activities.
He is such a precious child.
I love that you are starting preschool with Connor! I can't wait to be able to use my calendar stuff with Addison! :) Also, I love your schedule, since having number two it has been so hard to get a schedule going, but you have inspired me, and I might just copy your schedule. :) I think Connor and Addison would be great friends, I feel like you have just described my oldest to a T. I love reading about your sweet boys!!
