Colton and Presents

Colton wrapped presents for Jor

Dad: (reading a bumper sticker) Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.
C: And I am a boyfriend!

Dad: Don't put your fingers in your eye.
C: But it helps me move big, little, and also small things!

C: And I will hide these presents under the tree so Jordan can find them! I'm going to give him some building stuff so he can build much better! Is that nice of me?

Watching me wrap presents ~
C: Can I get rid of a book too?

Me: Get dressed.
C: But my underwear started to unfreeze me!  But my pajamas are the best!

C: What if I stopped growing?
Me: Do you want to be that short for all of your life?
C: No, I want to be a dad!  But my Thomas pajamas would still fit.
Hmm. Decisions, decisions!

C: Everyone that's my friend needs a present.  Everyone on the Earth is my friend!  I am the present-maker. If you need me to make a present, then I will make a present for YOU, Mom!

C: I want to borrow one of Santa's reindeer so I can fly and deliver my presents!  Or I could drive in a car. I'm gonna load them into the car, and you can deliver them.

Colton Takes the Train

Santa Train

Santa: And what do you want for Christmas?

C: A Christmas train!

Santa: A Christmas tree? Those aren't so great inside all year long.

Us: Are you gonna high-five Santa? Or give him knuckles?

C: Tickles!

Santa: I don't know if you know, but Santa isn't ticklish.

C: Oh, but I know a lot about stuff.

Visiting Santa

C: This granola bar is scrump-chy!

C: Hey guys, I know how to open presents!
Dad: I bet you do, but it's not time.

C: Mom, I want some bunnies!
Me: Sorry, I ate them all.
C: Well, I will take them all out of your tummy!

Train whistle

C: Mom, if you ask nicely, I will give you a ticket to ride on the train. But if you talk mean, I won't. So say, "Please, can I have a ticket?"
Me: Please, can I have a ticket?

C: We're going grocery shopping in the morning!
Dad: Yeah.
C: We're gonna get eggs, shiny red apples, oranges, and coffee for Mom!

Watching the world go by

Giving the bear a kiss

Another exhausting adventure!

C: Mom, if you ask nicely, I will give you a ticket to ride on the train. But if you talk mean, I won't. So say, "Please, can I have a ticket?"
Me: Please, can I have a ticket?

C: We're going grocery shopping in the morning!
Dad: Yeah.
C: We're gonna get eggs, shiny red apples, oranges, and coffee for Mom!

♥ ♥ ♥

C: Mom, I have a problem.
Me: What's your problem?
C: I need to know why Santa visits on Christmas.
Me: He comes to see girls and boys that go to sleep. But it's not Christmas time yet, so you don't have to worry. G'nite, buddy.

After wandering over for a hug from Dad after a particularly manic evening with the little guy ~
Dad: We have wine.
C: And applesauce!

Colton on Fiber

C: This is the haystack (cat scratcher). I am going to knock it down so he (kitty) can eat it.

C: I want oatmeal-cereal-water-peanut butter-cookies for breakfast!
