Connor Maxx is 9 today!!!
Time sure does fly...
Connor's nickname is KeeKee because when Riley started talking that's how he said Connor and it just stuck. However he does prefer the name Maxx to either Connor or KeeKee and has asked if we could change his name.
Connor is our goofiest child and often the trouble maker. He is the one who will bother everyone every single chance he has. He will trip people when they walk by and when you are tying to yell at him he looks at you with his infectious smile and replies with the most comical phrases. Once he was being bad and I looked at him and said, "Connor what is wrong with you" and he looked at me and said, "Everything". We all burst out laughing
Connor is by far our grossest child. He loves all the most disgusting animals (see the post Connor's New Pet). Every day he watches Animal Planet or Discovery Channel. He is happiest when he is a dirty mess.
Connor is our least dressed child. He strips down to his boxers everytime he walks in the door and fights with us when we tell him to put pants on. I am pretty sure that if we would let him he wouldn't even wear boxers.
Connor does very well in school. Its just comes easy to him. He comes home everyday from school and gets right to his homework without ever being told and often completes it with no help (Ithink this is carried over from when I had cancer and was usually sleeping when he came home from school and he would just sit by me and do his work before waking me up -- even though I was awake watching him). This is a very good thing which will hopefully come in handy later since he is the class clown...every teacher he has ever had has told us how funny they think he is. That I'm sure will be a bad thing in High School!
Connor is very caring; when I was dealing with my cancer he would sit by me all day and was the first one to do anything. If I just said I was cold he would get a blanket and cover me...if I was thirsty he would run and get me water. He was a huge part of my recovery.
Legos are Connor's favorite toy and he can often be found building something wonderful. He can take the biggest set and have it completed in no time with no help. He also loves his Nintendo DS!
Connor's favorite color changes everytime you ask him (it must depend on his mood) he alternates between blue, red and black.
Connor loves any kind of chicken. Once he asked me what we were having for dinner and I said pork chops; his reply was, "Oh no, if it ain't chicken I ain't eating it!!" Needless to say chicken comes in every shape, size and color in our house ;)
He hates ketchup and mustard (mostly any sauces).
Connor plays baseball and football.
Today for Connor's birthday we went to Red Robin for dinner and gave him a Lego City Firehouse set and a DS game.
Friday he is having some friends over after school for a party.
