Colton on Healthy Living

Two miles on blades AFTER an hour
of hockey this morning!

C: Mom, I found an apple seed!  We should go outside and plant it.
Me: Mmm, we don't really have room for another apple tree.  Go ahead and throw it away.
C: I'm allowed to go outside.

C on raw collard greens ~
C: It's delicious! It's like I'm a lady bug!

C: When you see me running like this, it's because I'm moving my muscles.  Do you like it when I move my muscles?  We're having a very healthy day!  

Then he proceeded to do "push-ups," which looked more like jump squats to me, but whatever. And he keeps getting into the weights, and then showing off his shoulder to us and having us admire how big his muscles are.  

C: I'm wearing my handsome shirt!  Do you like being handsome too? 

Me: Girls are usually referred to as pretty, but sure. 

Hey Colton?

Break dancing at the ICM

C: Hey Mom? Hey Mom? Hey Mom?
Me: Hey Colton? Are you listening, Colton? Can you hear me, Colton?
C: Stop!  You can't talk to me 3 times!

C: I love broccoli!  I want to eat it every day until Saturday!

Me: Ick, where did our sun go?
C: It went to bed and today it's gonna go see its mama. 
Me: Oh, that's nice of it.
C: Yeah!


C: When we get home, are you gonna take a nap?

Me: I might need one.  Are you gonna take one?

C: Nope!

Me: Figures.

C: Hey Mom, I wanna hear it some more!  (aka turn it up)

Me: Dad got us some new juice!
C: *gasp* Thanks for Dad!

C: This is my crooked house.  Does it look splendid?  (Lincoln Log house)
