Colton on the Road

C: I was on the spinny thing and jumped off and it was pretty much fun!
Me: Sounds like it! Are you playing with any kids?

Hi Colton,

Here is a picture of the flower you brought to me. It was in your back pack.  Remember you thought is was dead. I said it just needed water.

Here it is !!!! Very alive.

Opa replies ~
He asked if I could "take it out of your computer." Why? "So we can take it with us in the car."
Printed.

Me: What was your favorite thing today?
C: Welp. We got to eat dinner at McDonald's! 
Me: Yeah? What'd you have?

Me: Yum!  Did you get to play at the playground?
C: They didn't have a playground, but we got to go on a picnic!
Me: Fun!

Opa: We've come to the agreement of one movie in the car a day.
Me: What movie did you watch?
C: Thomas, and Wall-E, and Toy Story.
Opa: See? One movie.  And did you watch Tron too?
C: Yeah!

Me: We love you very much and we miss you!
C: And Mom, maybe we could come to your house for a few minutes.
Me: Just a few minutes?
C: As long as you know where we are!

Colton Is Generous

C: There’s my Nana!
(jumps out of the van)
Hey, my Nana! I’m trying to ask my Nana something.
(runs up to Kathy)
Uhm, my Nana, my Dad got a new CAR!

C: Here’s a song about Thomas and the dark. Here we go! Boo! ... Toot! Can you know the rest?
Me: No, buddy, sorry I don’t know that song.
C: Maybe my Opa does.

C: Do you want to pick out some of my Thomas underwear?
Me: No thanks, they're a little too small.
C: But maybe you can borrow some when I'm an adult.

C: I'm gonna go get some socks on, and then come back to show the kitty how stinky my feet are!

C: I wish all my family could come to my house with Jordan.
Me: Who all is in your family?
C: Sarah... and everyone I can remember their names!
