Colton on Birthdays

C: Mooooom, I'm SO tired of waiting for my birthday. It's so long and it isn't even today.
Me: I know, buddy.  What should we do for your birthday?
C: I'm hoping I get one thousand presents!
Me: That would be a lot.
C: And maybe you should give me some presents.
Me: I probably will, since it will be your birthday.
C: And maybe you can give me your computer!
Me: I don't think so!
C: That would be nasty!
Nasty? Lol, okay...

Me: Remember to wash your hair tonight.
C: And then I will be sparkling!  And I wouldn't have to take a bath ever again until I get dirty.

C: I heard a sound that sounded like Angry Birds!

C: I'm exhausted because I used up all my Angry Birds energy. 

Me: It will record on Monday.
C: And do you know when Monday is?
Me: Yes.
C: Oh.

Colton Goes Riding

C: Hey Dad, I think I’m sure I need a blanket because my eyebrows are hot.

C: I'm deserving of a rest! 
After he ran me around the block several times. (He was riding & I was running to keep up!)

C: After breakfast I had dessert! Maybe I can have dessert after dinner too?

Colton Is Full of Steam

C: I have lots of steam today!
Me: Will you share? I'm tired.
C: No, I have to use all of it.

C: I'm gonna be an adult soon.
Me: Oh yeah?
C: And then I can swim in your pool! 
Me: Not til you're 13, bud.
C: How many birthdays is that?
Me: 10 more birthdays.
C: Wow, that is a lot!
Yeah, but it's flyin' right by...

C: That truck is a cookie truck!  That is my favorite kind of truck!

C: Was that awesome?
Me: That was pretty awesome!
C swam the length of the pool and was mighty impressed with himself.

C: No guns, Jordan!!!
LOL - nice to hear my words coming out of his mouth this time.

Daddy Goes Dancing

Me: Daddy is going to the gym.
C: Is Daddy going to go dance?
Me: Uhm, no. I don't think Zumba is Daddy's thing.
