“Mr. Hurricane”

Grandpa started to call Connor Mr. Hurricane about 1 month ago. Here is the story behind the name…

We were over Grandpa and Mimi’s house visiting Victoria’s family (her Aunt Lizzie and Grandmother were visiting from Florida). Brenna, Chad, and Catherine were visiting as well. There were a few times that Brenna began to cry and Connor just slept right through it. He pretty much slept through everything that day. Grandpa said Connor could sleep through a hurricane and then began to call him Hurricane and then it transformed into “Mr. Hurricane”. Grandpa has continued to call him this especially this weekend when he stopped by and spent time with me and Connor. “Hello, ‘Mr. Hurricane'”, Grandpa would say. Of course Connor just continued to sleep. I was using an impact wrench (loud noise) to remove the tires from our SUV and it didn’t phase Connor one bit as he lay asleep in Grandpa’s arms.

Well, Victoria and I took Connor out to the mall tonight. Victoria and I were shopping for clothes (for ourselves, since Connor owns half of all the clothes in Babies R Us). Well, we walked all over the mall for a good two hours and he was asleep in his stroller the entire time. We then went over to have dinner at Red Robin. Red Robin has got to be one of the noisiest restaurants I have ever been in. Connor just slept away. So, now I can understand why Grandpa has nicknamed Connor “Mr. Hurricane”.

As long as “Mr. Hurricane” continues to sleep peacefully and does not become a terror (like a hurricane), I think the nickname can stay.

Thanks Grandpa!
