Due to a technological issue, this is a blog post from 7/22:

    Connor is way too excited about his birthday.  He has been talking about it since the beginning of July, and the talks are getting more intense the past couple of weeks.  The things he is saying:
"I am excited!!!"
"Mommy, can we have pancakes on my birthday?"
"Can we have the banner and many balloons for my birthday?"
"I love all different colors balloons, just no white and no brown."
"I like to have a cake, cupcakes and ice cream for my birthday".
"I like vanila cake, with chocolate and ice cream."
"Can we watch TV while we eat on my birthday?"
   Connor can go on and on about what he wants for his birthday.  Everything that happens is related to his birthday in his mind.  He talks about which pictures we should bring to his "Spotlight" at school.  He talks about the friends he would like to invite and where he likes to have his celebration.  He now had asked Stuart to print out a calendar, and every day he is crossing out and counting down to his big date.
