Last Stop Before Home!


Back in Richland, WA ~

Me: Hey, buddy!  What did you do today?
C: Welp, it was a pretty fun day!

Me: Colton? Do you not want to talk?
C: No.
Me: Okay, then.  Good night.
C: I do!
Me: Then stop spinning the laptop and talk to us.  

Opa: We're making you a toasted cheese sandwich.
C: And remember, make it without the crusts!
Dad: What do you say?
C: What?
Dad: How do you say it politely?
C: Opa? Just make it with no crust...  Please?

C: I've been drinking lots of chocolate milk!
Me: Am I going to recognize you when I see you?  You're gonna get so big!
C: I don't know.

Me: Did you watch a movie today?
C: Yeah! I watched Tron and Henry and the Elephant. And I didn't watch Finding Nemo!  I just brought it just in case.

Me: Do you remember which baby is which?
C: Nope!

C: When I get home, I'm going to make 3 train sets!  And I'm going to put the straight pieces with the straight pieces, the curves with the curves, and the blocks with the blocks.  Will that be a good idea?

C: See you in a day!  Goodbye!

Me: Hi, buddy! Hi, Mr. Picostco!
C: I just call him bunny now.
Me: Oh, okay. Hi, bunny.

C: Mom, we're just at our second hotel.  This is our last one.  We'll see you when I'm done with my trip!

Me: What did you see today?
C: I don't remember.
Me: Did you get to see Old Faithful?
C: I don't know.
Oma: Yes, you saw Old Faithful.
Me: Did you see some bison?
C: I don't remember.
Opa: Yeah, we probably saw a couple hundred bison.  Apparently the swivel chair is more fun than talking right now.

Me: What did you have for breakfast?
C: I don't remember.
Opa: Cherry yogurt with some granola. And some of Oma's biscuit, and a donut, and what else?
C: I don't remember.
Oma: A hashbrown!
Me: Yum! And what did you have for dinner?
C: McDONALD'S!
Opa: With chocolate milk.
C: And I got the same toy!
Me: With all that food will I recognize you the next time I see you?  Because you're going to grow so big.
C: Yesssss. Pssht. That's silly!
Opa: You'll recognize him by the chocolate milk still on his face.

C: And I watched a new movie!
They bought him a DVD on Yellowstone to reinforce memories of the trip.  He still remembers our trip to Phoenix over a year ago, so this is very cool!

Travelling to Richland today and home-home on Saturday!  Yay!!
