Colton Takes Bargain Hunting Too Far

C: This grape isn't on sale. We have to throw it away.  Should I put it in the sink?

Me: Do you have to go potty, buddy?
C: No, I don't want to go every day!
Me: Yeah, we go every day.
C: Hey, can I have some of that juice?
Me: Drink your other juice and then I'll give you some.
C: But don't drink it all, or you'll have to go potty!

C: When are our tummies going to be all full?

Me: Whenever they're full.

C: When the big hand and the little hand both get to the 8 and the 5, then they'll be full!
Me: Uh, okay.

C: I stopped reading so I can look at the clock!

C: Do you know what this is?  It starts with an A-A-A-A-A. 
Me: It's an a-a-a-apple.

Snowmaggedon!

C: I hurt my ear because I wasn't looking where I was looking!

Me: Here's your pancake!
C: Is it bigger than my head?
Me: Of course!

C: Hey Mom, I love you!
Me: I love you too!
C: I love you when you gimme new race cars!

Sitting on a snowbank ~

Me: I love the smell of wood fires.

C: Yeah, the fire is keeping me nice and warm!  It's 55°!

Me: It's a little colder than that, buddy.

Colton Has His Cake ... Every Day!

C: But I want to eat cake every day!
Dad: No, buddy.  You can’t, that wouldn’t be healthy.
C: What would be healthy?
Dad: Avocadoes, tomatoes, apples…
C: Yeah, and chicken.
Dad: Yup, and asparagus, and turnips…
C: And grown-ups!
Dad: …

Coach Annie is trying to split up the class into boys & girls ~

CA: Ok, Morgan, what are you?

Uhhh....

Colton Gets Dressed

Skating 2/20

C: I like going skating here! I hadn't been here in a long time!
Me: You've never been skating here.

Me: What was your favorite part of the day?
C: No, I want you to ask me what was my favorite part of the night?
Me: Okay, what was your favorite part of the night?
C: Skating!

He did the Hokey Pokey, the Chicken Dance, and regular skate and hardly fell at all - even whilst *jumping* on his skates!  What fun!

Colton puts a bucket on his head ~

C: How does my dress look like?

Me: It looks lovely!

C: It looks gorgeous!  And bumpfy!

Me: Bumpfy?  Sure, it looks bumpfy.

C: I made you some tea! But you just get a little bit, because I am very firsty!  You don't get a cup as big as your head.

C: I'm trying to give you a kiss!
Me: Okay, give me a kiss and then go to sleep. 
C: And now I'm going to give myself a kiss!

We Do Not Eat Our Coltons

C: On Saturday, I'm gonna go on a date! Heartbreaker! C: On Saturday or Sunday morning, I will be home from my date.  Me: Yeah?  C: Yeah. We have to go 20 or 50 miles. Me: That's a long date. C: No, Dad, you can't eat me today! Dad: Why not? C: Because Mom won't let me do lots of stuff if you eat me. Me: Do you remember what number to dial in an emergency? C: 9-1-1. Me: Yeah, and do you know when to dial that number? C: No. Me: When you need a policeman, a fireman, or an ambulance you dial that number. C: My fire truck has a man! Me: And does he help put out fires at peoples' houses? C: No, he takes care of their plants. Dad: Hey Colton, we're gonna trade you in at the used baby store. C: No, I want to keep being a big boy! C: Dad if you put me in timeout one more time, I'll put you in a nap and not let you come out! C: Hey, can I have some of that eating stuff? Dad: Yes, you can have some of this eating stuff. C: Is it broccoli? Dad: Nope, it's asparagus. C: Can I have some? Dad: Yep!

Colton Has Good Secrets

C: You don't get to be in charge.
Me: Who will be in charge then?
C: Just Dad, and Kathy, and I!
Me: I see. 

Me: Want to go to the park?
C: No! I want to go to Sarah & Jordan's for a play date.
Me: We're meeting Sarah & Jordan at the park.
C: But I want to go to their house!
Me: We'll see, you'll have to ask Sarah about that.

Me: What was your favorite part about today?

C: Eating cake. [Happy Birthday, Dawn!!]

Me: Mmm, good choice.

C: What was your favorite part?
Me: Going for a run in the sunshine with my friends!

C: I have no more secrets.

Me: Did you tell me them?
C: It was about eating cake and seeing a train.

C: See all those stars? There are some right over our house!

Me: Maybe we can go to the museum tomorrow, or go play with Sarah & Jordan?
C: With Nana?
Me: Maybe.
C: I love Nana, and I want to see her every day that you tell me to.

C: I'm gonna brush my teeth all by myself!
Me: Okay! You are certainly getting big.
C: And I'm gonna be 20 soon, and I will know how to hang by myself!  (on the monkey bars)

Thank you, Mr. Random.

*CRASH!*

Me: Colton, not okay!

C: I'm sorry, Mom. Are we still friends?

C: We made a song for you today! It has ants in it.

Aw, Schmucks!

C: Why did you get two chocolates? Me: One for you and one for Daddy for Valentine's Day. C: Why? Me: Because Valentine's Day is when we give each other chocolate and say "I love you."

C: No, say, "Please may I have just two?" Me: Please may I have just two? *LOL* Me: Will you help me remember to get some more juice tomorrow? C: Yeah, I just want five-teen!
