King Con

King Con

One of our kids’ favorite pastimes is standing on the window sill and watching the people below on Broadway. Because of Conrad’s bull-legged stance, unintelligible grunting noises, and constant banging on the window, I told Claire that he looked like King Kong. Weston thought that was funny and said, “His name is Conrad, not King Con.”

Conrad
Maybe it’s because the third child has to fight for everything, but there is nothing passive about Conrad. We are extremely careful when feeding him with a fork due to his tendency to lunge forward like a snapping turtle in order to catch his pea mush unawares.

After watching some videos on YouTube, we noticed other similarities: Conrad moves around with his mouth wide open waiting to be fed just like this alligator snapping turtle.

I really, really, really want one of these.

In other news, Conrad is starting to walk from point A to point B, assuming point A and point B are sitting pretty close together.
