Colton Reads in Spanish

Mom's old Kindle being put to good use!

C: Mom? Will you take my boots off. They're too dirty for me.
Me: Oh thanks.

C: Mom! I read my first Spanish word! So-co!
Me: Close, Suduko. And it's Japanese, bud.

C (wearing a laundry basket on his head): Now I have something to entertain me when I'm coming down the stairs.

C (reading the menu): I can read it with my super x-ray eyes.
Dad: When did you get those installed?
C: Just now.
Dad: I see. With what money?
C: I've got money in my mind.
Me: Oh good, so you can pay for dinner.  

C: I'm starting to become a super hero!  Just look at my cape!

C: Now Dad's probably not going to win this.
...  Dad has no way of winning this game!
Gosh, Dad is easily defeated when he's not there to play!

Colton Does Christmas Eve

C: Try not to get Bingo.  I have two in a row like you!

C: I'm high-fiving feet to hands!

Cousin Riley

C: Why are you wearing these big socks?  (tights)

C: I bonked my head.
Me: Do you need me to kiss it?
C: It's under my hair!

Driving the trains..and concentrating!

C: There is a train that's not working. It hasn't been downloaded yet.

Jordan: Sounds like you need a job.
C: I'm going to do all my chores and work so I can get money for trains!  And I am going to get 16 monies! So I can have 16 trains!

C, Riley & Uncle Jon

Uncle Jon's trains were working (yay!!) and were such a big hit that even Santa couldn't convince C to come home!
Me: Buddy, we have to leave so Santa Claus can come.
C: No thanks.
Me: You don't have a choice.  We have to go home.
C: But I want to spend the night! 
Me: But Santa can't come if he doesn't know where you are.  And I would miss you.
C: You can see me next Christmas!
Me: No, buddy.  It's time to go. 
Uncle Jon: You can come back any time.
C: Mom, we're not going to Granddad's the next day!  We're going to Uncle Jon's!

The train set!

Colton Does Christmas Eve

Watching Riley ("Ralle") unwrap her gifts ~
C: Can you be a good sharer?

He & Riley played, and played, and played some more.  So cute! 

After we got home ~
Me: Shall we pick out some cookies for Santa?
C: He can have an orange.
Me: No cookies for Santa?
C: No.

Later ~
Me: Do you think Santa will eat his orange?
C: No.
Me: Just his cookie?
C: Yeah.
(Waaaay past kiddo's bedtime at this point, so he wasn't very chatty)

All snugged in his bed ~
C: Mom, I'm really happy.
Me: Me too, night buddy! 

Colton absolutely fell in love with Uncle Jon's train room tonight.  Seriously, who wouldn't?!  He was running 4 electric trains and they both kept sneaking back there to play!

      Uncle Jon sent home this       
awesome train for C.  Wow!  

C was in train heaven!
