Colton Takes a Snow Day

C: Nanan, when you put the baby down, make sure you remember to play trains!

Nanan: I get side-tracked frequently.
C: I just lost my mind! 

C: Now that I'm home, we can play trains!

C: The next day, you should be sure to make me hot chocolate!
Me: That sounds good for breakfast on a snowy day!  Do you want blueberries on the side or in your pancakes?
C: I want them on the side, and on top, and inside!
Dad: So basically you want a little pancake with your blueberries?

C: Don't put my pajamas on my head!
Me: Why not?
C: Because then I'll have to look in the window to see if they're on my head.

Dad: I got some special bread for lunch tomorrow.
C: What is it?
Dad: Sourdough.
C: Yeah, and I will want pancakes and waffles too!
Dad: I was thinking grilled cheese for lunch, not breakfast.

C: I shouldn't have gotten this cough!  I didn't want it!

C: Tomorrow, can we go to the train station?
Me: No.
C: Why not?
Me: I don't have anywhere to go.
C: I will just make the map!
