November was full of fun.  It all started with Uncle Brian's visit all the way from Colorado.  Connor and James both met Uncle Brian for the first time.  Connor called him "Uncle" and never left his side, or his lap very much either.  Both boys enjoyed having Brian as a playmate.  Everywhere we went in the car, they wanted "Uncle" to squeeze right in the middle.  Connor was so sad when Uncle had to go back home.  He pouted all day and shed some pitiful tears.  Kids have a way of judging whether a person has good character or not. Upon visiting with Brian, Weston & Connor recognized right away that he has such good character.  I'm his little sister, and I think he is one of the nicest people I know.

Weston celebrated the 50th Day of Kindergarten with his class in November.  It was a day packed full of fun.  We all dressed up for the party, which was complete with root beer floats and dancing to 50s music.  All the learning activities for the day centered around the 1950s theme and counting to fifty.  The kids also had their pictures taken in front of a 1950s Chevrolet that belonged to his classmate Matthew's dad.  If there is one thing that Weston loves, it is a good party.  Joy was written all over his face the whole day. 

Connor also had his first dental checkup at Dr. Ritter's that afternoon.  He was such a good patient.  He watched Toy Story while his teeth were cleaned.  Dr. Ritter made him a balloon shaped like a cat when he was all done.  When his balloon lost its shape after playing with it for a while, Connor was able to recreate the cat by twisting it back into shape.  He is so observant.  Nothing gets past him, even when you think he isn't paying attention.
