He also has been very much into mittens lately. He has always been a hot-blooded kid, sweating in his sleep no matter the temperature ever since he was a baby, and he does not have cold hands, he just likes to wear gloves, mittens....socks on his hands...batting gloves...slippers on his hands...whatever it may be. This night I caught him sleeping with them on! 
Some more fun Conor facts and phrases over the last few months: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of his favorite Christmas songs, which we heard well until February included:
"The First Snowell", and Grandpa's favorite, "Feliz Nabidab". In addition to Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells, and The 12 Days of Christmas, his all-time favorite this year was Mary's Boy Child". Who would have ever thought we'd be happy to hear Yankee Doodle and Wheels on the Bus again after hearing those Christmas songs for four months? He also especially enjoyed watching the Santa Clause movies with Tim Allen, although he didn't like "Jack Froze" (Jack Frost) in the third one because he was mean.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When we have pancakes, he doesn't necessarily want syrup, he always asks for the "Aunt Schjkemima" (Gimme a break, it's hard to spell a mispronunciation. Just try to sound it out.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mom: "Conor, it's cold. I think you should wear a sweatshirt today, or at least long sleeves." Conor: "I don't WANT long sleeves 'cuz I don't have long hands!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When disciplining Conor for not doing something he should have done and teaching him to apologize and make amends, I told him to say, "I will try to do that from now on." He retorted, "I will try to do that on now."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mom: "Conor, did you toot?" (our endearing family term for passing gas)
Conor: "Why? Does it stink?"
Mom: "Yep, it sure does."
Conor: "Well, then I guess I did."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conor has been fascinated by the panel in our car that displays temperature and direction. He is asking lots of questions and always updates us when we turn to let us know we are going north, south, east, or west. He always tells us when the temperature changes one degree as well. When he first started doing this, he said "Mom, it says 29 degrees!" I nonchalantly answered "Awesome", as in "Good job. I'm proud of you for reading that out loud correctly," but was reprimanded when he said, "Mom, why'd you say awesome? That's COLD!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He is also always asking how many miles between destinations or until the next turn and whether it will be on the right or the left. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why he was so interested until one day we were going somewhere we had gone a hundred times before and he asked the same questions, and when I told him the answers, he said, "But how do you know that mom, when you don't have the lady's voice to tell you?" .... I didn't have the GPS system with me that day!! Nothing gets by this kid.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One night, when Daddy got home, I said casually "Look what the cat dragged in." Conor replied, "He's not a cat-drag."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We drove past a little smart car one day, and I pointed it out to Conor and said "Hey, look at that mini car." I don't know whether he actually saw the car or not, but as big fans of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse around here (and having just recently seen an episode titled Minnie's Bow-tique), he didn't pause a moment before responding, "Maybe we could put a Minnie Bow on it."
