When Connor's not a cute little kid anymore, he'll be a handsome young man and you'll probably be more concerned with drooling young girls looking at him.Ms. Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068881607563023289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-73308874200455364952010-03-28T13:06:31.718-07:002010-03-28T13:06:31.718-07:00Happy Upcoming Birthday, Connor!

He's going to do it all on *his* terms, darnit. I look forward to many more birthday posts to come.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065377267682881396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-76917253610134240082010-03-28T08:25:00.754-07:002010-03-28T08:25:00.754-07:00Our little guy will be 3 in a couple of weeks and ...Our little guy will be 3 in a couple of weeks and he's so tiny that people think he's a little baby.

Thankfully, he is doing very well. However, I have to agree with you. Since he reached 4 the differences between him and his peers have broadened.<br /><br />I was not expecting that at all, for some reason, and while I am so happy about the progress he has made, I can't help but wonder about 5...<br /><br />Bring it on, I say! Just bring it on~<br /><br />Lisa @ All That and a Box of RocksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314802219642337134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-30166932422261669812010-03-28T08:00:30.491-07:002010-03-28T08:00:30.491-07:00Awww. I know what you mean. My littlest, the one...Awww. I know what you mean. My littlest, the one whose special needs are the most extensive, is tiny for his age (four and a half) and uncommonly adorable as well, and it does change, the way people react to hearing their age, and I think a lot of it just comes down to size and facial structure. My littlest is very, very tiny for his age and has "facial dysmorphology" that...well, his geneticist calls it the "baby face" and it's true, the wide bridge of the nose and epicanthal-fold-whatever makes him look very babyish. At three I think people still lean more toward "awwwww" than "ohhhh?" but at four it's more obvious that Something Is Different. In my little guy's case it's kind of hilarious to watch people react when I tell them his age because he's developmentally precocious and quite physically able when he's feeling good. So it kind of looks like he's a two-year-old with excellent coordination who speaks in complete, complex sentences. In Connor's case it probably looks like your baby is fluent in sign language :) Happy almost-birthday to the wee man!MFA Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052734298141262385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-43825949129318924672010-03-28T06:16:05.562-07:002010-03-28T06:16:05.562-07:00What a beautiful post. :)What a beautiful post. :)Sharonnoreply@blogger.com
