Connor’s week-long spring break started yesterday.  Since Stuart was staying with Connor on the first day, I took Logan to school before I went to work.  It was so out of routine for me that I forgot Logan’s school bag and my cell phone.  Logan actually told the teacher about my forgetfulness too.  Anyway, as a result, Stuart and Connor’s first trip of the day was to drop off the phone to my work.  I was still on a call with a patient when they arrived to the office.  Connor was a bit shy stepping into the office, but then he went straight to me with my phone in his hand and started talking a bunch of things to me.  I had to finish the phone call before I could pay any attention to him.  He was so happy to give me hugs and told me that daddy and he were on their way to the library.  We held hands to walk them out of the building.  Seeing Connor at work was such a little treat!

     Today I had Connor duty.  He wanted to drop off Logan with me, so the three of us left the house in the morning.  Connor was surprised that Logan and I were walking a different direction at school as Connor is not familiar with the morning drop off room.  Connor was so nervous to walk into a strange room and he almost burst out in tears when the teacher said hi to him.  I reassured him that he was staying with me, then he relaxed a bit.  We said bye to Logan and we were on our way for some shopping.  We shopped at Target, then we went to the mall.  I brought his stroller this time and Connor was happy to stay in there.  He was very patient and even allowed me trying on some clothes.  We shopped, then took a break at the food court for lunch.  Connor was interested in helping me pick out ingredients and watching our Mongolian noodles being stir fried by the cooks.  The noodles turned out to be slightly spicy, but Connor did not complain and had a big serving of it. 

    After lunch, we walked around a bit more.  Connor was excited when he saw the kids zone underneath on the first floor.  He was so proud to point out the escalator and wanted to show me the way down.  But when he was about to take off his shoes, he changed his mind and told me that he did not want to go.  So I suggested that we checked out the Lego store instead.  He had fun looking at the boxes and models, then spent some times playing with the Lego pieces.  By then, we had been at the mall for two hours and Connor suggested to go home.  On the drive home, Connor said “daddy” a couple of times, I asked if he misses daddy, he said “Ya, I miss daddy!”.  Then he even added “I miss goh goh”.
