Today at church David and I were both on stage with the worship team. When David dismissed the children for children's church I noticed Colt was coming towards me instead of the door. . . Sure enough, he walked up on stage and said, "Mommy, um. . . mommy, I need to tell you something. Mommy, sometimes I like to go home and play with my toys." THEN, he went to class. Good talk son.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colt: "Mommy, I'm going to be the horse and you ride in the 'carrot'."

Me: Carrot? You mean carriage?

Colt: "No, carrot. You ride in the carrot so you don't get hurt and don't go too fast."

Me: Carrot? You mean chariot?

Colt: "Yes, carriot."

Me: ok.

Colt left his beloved "night night" (a blanket he likes to sleep with) in West Virginia. Once he figured it out he said, "Mom this is a pretty sad day. . . "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colt was so tired from playing with Sarah one evening but really didn't think going to bed was a good idea. How did we KNOW he was tired?? Because he said, "Just let me finish drinking my movie first, then I will go to bed."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colt wanted to get out of his seat and ride in the front while we were doing about 70 mph down the Turnpike. David said, "Colt you can't do that. It wouldn't be safe, and Daddy would go to jail." I guess Colt didn't think that was a bad idea because he said, "Daddy, I want you to go to jail. . . then you couldn't spank me." We all got a good laugh out of that.

Colt is on a "teeth brushing" kick. . . so much so that he is really picky about what he eats, always asking if it will give him a cavity, or if it's good for him and makes him strong. I don't really know where this minor obsession came from because I try to tell him that you don't have to brush your teeth 87 times a day, 3 is enough.

Nevertheless, the saga continues. His little friend is having a bday party at a candy shop, and when I told Colt the FIRST THING he said was, "Do they have a little sink and tooth brush for me to brush my teeth after I eat some candy?"

When I told him probably not, but that we COULD brush when we got home after the party. . . he said this, "I have a good idea! How about we sell candy at our house and have the party here! Then, I could brush my teeth!" Good thought, huh?

Colt this morning: "Mom, please coming upstairs and play with me OR NOT!. . . I mean, OR ELSE!"

Kylie was being a little too loud for Colt I guess because I heard him saying, "Sissy, you are driving me NUTS!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colt wiped his hands on David's pants tonight after finishing an orange. David said, "Colt, we don't wipe out hands on people. You need to get a rag."

To which Colt replied, "Oh, I didn't know you were a people Dad."

Just some funnies . . .

Colt says, "Ready for not, here I come!" when playing hide and seek (instead of "ready OR NOT").

He also says "All a MORED!" (instead of all a board!) - no matter how many times I correct/teach him otherwise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday Colt had just finished eating a banana in the back seat and Kylie was starting to fuss. I asked him to give her the pacifier, but he refused until he wiped his fingers off! I told him that he always needed to obey and we went back and forth for a minute until he said, "but Mom! I don't want sissy to CHOKE on my banana fingers!!"

After spending about a week at Papaw and Nana's house, Colt kept calling David "papaw" ALL evening when we got home. That was funny - hehe
