C: Mom? Should we play?
Me: You bet. 
C: I think we should play trains!

C: I don't know how to say please and I need something to put water in!

C: You know uno, Mom?

Me: What comes next?

                Birthday at Granddad's                

Grandma: Who are all these presents for?
C: Some are for me, and some are for my babies!

On getting up ~
C: You just have to get down and then get right back up again!

C: I will be your helper!  Let me hold your hand so I can pull you up the stairs! 

Fishing w/ Granddad

C: Why didn't we catch any fish when we went fishing?
Granddad: I don't know.  Maybe they just weren't biting, or maybe we had the wrong kind of donuts. 

C: Can I rewind it now?  (reel in the line)

C: How tall will I be when I'm 16?
Me: Taller than me!

Colton Goes Hiking

C: Mom, do you like rainbows?
Me: I do, but I need some sunshine.
C: Me too.  We've been waiting really hard for weeks!
Me: I know.

C: ¡Vámanos! (going up the hill)

Me: That was a good hike!  I enjoyed it a lot.
C: Yeah... but I didn't enjoy going up the big hill. 

C: I want to go on the water slide!  What color is it?  I want mine to be blue, and orange, and purple, and red, with orange on the bottom, and blue on the side....

C: My car is really fast!

Dad: And how many brakes does it have?

C: 37!

Me: And is it a sports car, a mini van, a SUV or a hatchback?

C: It's a hatchback. 

C: Look at what shirt I have on!  I have a really cool shirt on!  (to every hiker we passed...)

Me: Babies are awake.

Dad: Didn't jostle them enough today?

Me: Guess not.

C: Why are they awake?

Me: They're kicking.

C: And are they breaking your tummy?
Me: Nope.  It feels like this.  *tap, tap, tap*

Me: They're not even born yet.  So they're 0.
C: You mean they're zero years old?
Me: Yep. 

Me: Are you going to help me weed today?  We need to clear out all these plants.
C: But not the white flowers!  Those are my favorites!  [dandelions that have gone to seed]
Me: I know they're your favorite, but they're not supposed to be in the garden. 

C: So Mom, what was the favorite part of the day?

Colton on the Future

Chilly day @ Camano Beach 6/22

C: But I WANT one of those beans! [chocolate covered espresso beans]

Me: Sorry, buddy, they have caffeine in them, so you can't have them til you're older.

C: When I'm an adult?

Me: Yeah.

C: When I'm an adult, I will be a mommy!

Me: Oh yeah? And how many kids are you gonna have?

C: Twenty!

C: Some time, can I go to the end of the water?

Me: Sure, but you won't be able to go to the end of the ocean. 

C: Why?

Me: Because the ocean is really big, and you'd have to take an airplane to get to the other side.

Today Is a Slurpee Kind of Day!

C: Can you just make me some instructions so I can make a steam engine?  I'll get you some paper!

Me: ... and soon, it will be your birthday!
C: And I be able to jump REALLY high into the bright, blue sky!

C: Where did that noise come from?
Me: It sounds like our neighbor is using a saw.

Colton vs Hockey, Part IV

Me: Great job at hockey tonight, buddy!  Are you tired?
C: Yeah, I'm all fueled out!
Dad: How are your legs?
C: They're just smothered.

Great improvement again tonight!  He is able to get onto the ice from out of the rink and glide a little bit, and was standing on the ice for long periods of time.  Still working on standing up when on the ice, but he's getting close!  He even tried jumping on his skates during one of the exercises.  Lots of smiles and a lot of hard work on his part tonight. Very proud of him! 

C: Will you stay home with me all day tomorrow?
Me: No, sorry buddy, I have to work.
C: Will Daddy?
Me: He has to work too.
C: And I have to work!
Me: Where do you work?
C: Just over some snowy mountains!
Me: And what do you do for work?
C: I play. And when someone needs a computer, I do the computer. And I sell cars.
Me: So you work on the computer and sell cars?
C: And play!
