Colton on Growing

C talking to D

C: I'm sorry I woke up that baby, Mom, but Dad is dealing with it.

C: Why do babies cry when people are bigger than them?
Me: They don't know how to talk yet, so they talk to us by crying. 

Me: I think it's time to put these in the too-small box.
C: Why can't people just stay the same?
Me: Don't you want to grow big & tall?
Dad: And play hockey professionally?
C: Yeah!  Dad, I will use my muscles to see how big you are.
Dad: I'm 6'.
C: And I think you're too tall for my map!

C: My jammies are too small because I was growing last night.  Let's put them in the box for my babies to have a turn!

C: Hey Dad, let’s always get big and strong.
Dad: That sounds good buddy.
C: Yeah, and let’s never get fat!
(Dad: I’ll remember that next time you want to go to McDonald's after hockey!)

C: Can I have candy now?

Me: After lunch.
C: Why after lunch? You just aren't making me very happy today.

Colton Is Cross

11/10/10

Me: Hey buddy, how are you?
C: I'm just a little cross. 

C: Hey Mom? I speak dog.

Me: You do? Tell Zoe to stop barking.

C: Zoe, no barking! Mom, I said Zoe "No barking!"
Me: Thanks, buddy.

Me: How was your day?

C: I had a cross and grumpy day.

Me: Me too. 
C: Oh.

Zoe (L) & Shrek

C: On my birthday, there were lots and lots of decorations!

Me: And we're going to have lots and lots of decorations for Christmas.

C: And I am going to deliver the lights! And it's gonna snow!

Me: Are you going to wear your snow plow?

C: Yeah, and Terrance (tractor) will be there.
