Colton and Summer Vacay

C: I think we should go to McDonald's!
Me: Jordan doesn't eat there, buddy.
C: Why? The chicken nuggets and fries are better 'n desserts! 
/facepalm

C: Don't you wish we could go on vacation?
Me: I do. Where should we go?
C: Maybe back to Phoenix!   [This from the boy who's melting at 80°]
Me: The other Colton moved near there. 
C: Why?
Me: Because, that's where he's living now. 
C: And maybe we could visit next day!

• Charity, apparently you're getting visitors soon!

C: And the next season, will be blueberry season!  Do you know where the blueberries go during the fall & winter?
Me: No, where?
C: On summer vacation!

C: I better not leave my cup outside!
Dad: Probably not.
C: Or else when I come back, it will be full of squirrel poop!
Dad: Colton, that's gross.
C: Yeah, but it's true!

C: Are you excited for the Day Out With Thomas?  We will go straight to the gift shop when we get there, then we'll ride the train, and then we'll play! Is that a good idea?
Me: Sure, buddy.

Colton Is a Camping Boy

Every night since his birthday party (7/9), Colton has slept in his Thomas tent.  He curls up inside and is perfectly content.  

Some perspective ~ it's tiny!

Peek!

Sleepy Colton

Dad: Go give Mom a night kiss.
Colton comes up and plants a kiss on my belly ~
C: I kissed the babies!

C: Upstairs in my room, I can spin on 1 foot!   Because I'm 4 years old!  Want to come up and see me?  You could pause your work!

C: You can have some macaroni and cheese!  I just LOVE macaroni and cheese!  I want it every day! With a cookie!  And then I will poop.  The end.  That's the end of the story, Mom!
Me: That was a lovely story.

C: How old will my babies be when I'm 30-hundred?
Me: I don't know.
C: Maybe they're gonna be 16.

C: Mom, do you know anything about stuff?
Me: Yeah, I know stuff about stuff.

Thomas Is #1!

‎Me: (singing...because this silly song is stuck in my head!) Thomas is #1!
C: Mom, you're the #1 mom.
Now, if I could only get that in writing...

Colton Turns 2!

Happy Birthday, buddy!

Ice cream cake ~ mmm!
