Oh that Naked Boy!

Monday was a gorgeous day, however it was a big tease, considering it is cold and windy again. Thank you mother nature for teasing us once again. Any way, after I got off work on Monday the boys begged me to let them go outside. Taylor by saying "Mom, I want to go outside?" and Connor by trying any way he could to try and get the door unlocked. So I gave in and let them enjoy that warm Monday afternoon.

We played t-ball, we played in the sandbox, and we played with our arsenal of John Deere toys. They were having a great time and then Connor headed inside, I let him stay in the house for about 15 minutes while Taylor and I were outside. Then I thought, maybe I should go see what he is doing. So Taylor and I went inside.

I found Connor in the bathroom overflowing the bath tub with stuffed animals, the area rugs for the floor and lots and lots of water. Did I mention he is sitting in the tub with all his clothes on? There was water everywhere. So I unplugged the drain, pulled him out and stripped his clothes off since they were soaking wet. I preceded to get towels out and clean up the bathroom. I figured I could dress Connor when I was done. So I got done cleaning up the mess and went downstairs and I can't find Connor anywhere. Taylor and I ran up and down the stairs looking for him.
So then I thought he went outside. My child is outside and he is naked. So I looked in the front of the house, and I looked in the back of the house, and I went up and down the street. My only thought at this point was "The Police are going to bring my child home naked and accuse me of child abuse." Well I followed that same path a few more times and then I thought Katie look in the truck. There he was naked as a jaybird laughing at me in the truck!

THAT LITTLE STINKER!

Special Kid

Why is it people are so afraid of the unknown or when things are different?

Connor may not act socially acceptable. He may flap his hands, or squeal like a pig when he is happy but why is that a bad thing. Why is it that we judge how someone is excited? Why is it we get older and lose our enthusiasm for life?

Connor teaches me everyday to try and be happy about every moment. He brings a smile to my face many times a day. Why would anyone be scared or afraid of something that is so pure? His love for life and the things in it is amazing.

Open your heart and your mind to new things. It may just be the best thing that ever happened in your life. You may see things in a much more appealing way than you did before. I love you Connor Mark Kelley!
