Me and my Connor-man
Connor and his class celebrated 100 days of kindergarten.  Connor borrowed a cane that belonged to Grandy's granddaddy and Connor's namesake, Norris Calloway Oakes.  I sprayed Connor's cute curls with gray hairspray and put glasses on him.  When we got to school, his class had a 100 days parade.  I helped them with their 100 days activities and crafts.  Then, they presented their projects.  Will came up with the idea for Connor's project.  Connor hammered 100 nails into a board spelling out the words "nailed it!"  The caption said, "I've hammered through 100 days of kindergarten, and I have nailed it!"  Connor was very proud of his project.  Marley caused quite a stir when she brought 100 worms in some dirt.  Everyone had fun putting their hands in the pile of worms.  It was such a fun day to spend with my Connor-man!

Connor topped the day off when he came home and taught himself to ride his bike without training wheels!  He was zooming around the back patio after just a few tries.  I got a video of him singing this song that he made up: "Hello.  I'm riding around.  I got my training wheels off, training wheels off, off, off, off.  Look down there. No training wheels, wheels, wheels, wheels."  I'm so proud of this little guy!  He is learning so much and getting so big.
