Oh, Infinity!

   C: Oh, infinity and beyond!   

C: Can I smell your sock?
Me: I guess?
C: Hey Mom, my nose can't smell your sock. 
Me: Yeah, it's all stuffed up, huh.

C: I'm at my date!  I'm tired and have to go to sleep.
Exciting date!

C: Goodnight, Mom! *kiss* Now you can go to sleep.  But we forgot to brush your teeth and floss. 
Me: Better do that.
C: This toothpaste is very spicy.  It tastes like spicy eggs!
...
C: Okay, rinse & spit.  Now we have to floss.  Open your mouth!  Harder!

C: I have a super-dooper-awesome-great idea!

C: Why is this not staying up here?
Me: That looks dangerous.
C: But I want to do that!

C: I'm super-dooper brave!  And I know a lot about stuff!

C: Was that a cool fly?

Colton on Teasing

C: Can I have some clothes? Me: Nah, I think you should just stand there and be cold. C: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Me: I was teasing, yes, go get some clothes. C: I don't like it when you tease me. ... C: Why did you trip me? Me: I didn't trip you.  I teased you. C: Oh. I don't like that.  C: Maybe we can eat like a family again! Which means simply sitting at the table together.  Doesn't even need to be all of us.  Me: What should we do today, Mr. Sicky? C: I have a good idea! Let's stay home! Me: Sounds good.  C: Are you sending a message to me? Me: The blanket is big enough for both of us. C: No, it's just for ONE KID!  Not for girls!  Just for boys! C: Is that broccoli? Me: Nope, it's celery. C: I don't like it. Me: I think you might with some peanut butter on it. C: I do like it! But you don't!  Celery makes you grow! Look at my muscles.  My muscles are as big as yours!	Dressed himself, but managed to get his jammies on backwards.

Silly Colton Is Silly

C: Something hurts on my face.
Me: Are your lips chapped?  Would you like some chapstick?
C: No, it's just my mustache that hurts.

Me: Kiwis have lots of vitamin C in them to help you get over your cold.
C: This kiwi doesn't look like A-B-C, it looks like directions!

C: Mom, I left this juice out over night.  It's 'spired.  (expired)

C: Silly Colton!  I was trying stuff that was silly.

C: Maybe we can go play outside.
Me: It's pretty cold out there, buddy.
C: You can wear my snow pants.
Me: They're a little short.
C: When I'm big enough, on Sunday, I'll get you a big, big, large one that's all the way up to the ceiling! 
Me: Those will probably fit!

C: I'm gonna go downstairs to get my books, if they're still alive.

We Are Family

Colton & Jordan drive the
fire truck puzzle 2/23

6am, dark, on our way to Sarah's ~
C: When is it going to be morning time?

C: I see the moon!  It's chasing us!

C: In the car, on the way to Nana's, we saw a train!  And it was pretty awesome!

C: Maybe we could eat like a family again!
As opposed to other nights when we're not family?

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?

Morgan: I’m a girl!

CA: And Colton, what are you?

C: I’m a girl too!
Bridger: Me too!
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)
