Colt has been playing football in the house with David. I overheard him say, "Ok let's CUDDLE UP!" When I asked about it, David said that is what Colt calls the "huddle." Pretty cute.

Colt was talking to David last night about the "cool" things in China. He said with total excitement, "And Dad! When we came to China, that was the first time in my WHOLE WIDE LIFE that I rode in a taxi!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reminiscing to last December, Colt was riding with Papaw Randy and Nana Gail when Papaw Randy hit a deer. Colt said, "What was that?!" Nana Gail told him that Papaw had just hit a deer. Then, Colt asked, "Well why did you do that Papaw?"

Colt randomly said to us this afternoon, "Dad, for my 10-year-old birthday can you give me a coconut? And you might need to help me open it."

Colt came home from local kindergarten today and said, "Guess what?!  A kid bumped into me and said 'sorry,' so I said 'meiguanxi (that's ok)!' He is so proud when he uses Chinese correctly!  I am so proud too!

Note: This is way better than the other day when we asked him if he learned anything at his school.  His answer to that was, "I learn the SAME thing everyday, BLAH BLAH BLAH."  hahaha.

Colt was telling us that during lunch at school another little boy in his class threw up in his rice bowl. And then he sweetly said, "and Mom, I'm pretty much worried about him. . ."  Awwww.

I figured out why Colt likes the local school SO much that he wants to go even on the weekends and holidays - - He has 3 lovely Chinese teachers who always greet him with kisses and hugs, tell him how much they LOVE his hair and his eyes, and tell him how "beautiful" he is.  Oh my.  He is going to get the big head for sure!

I was talking to Colt about taking a trip to Washington DC where we would see the White House where the President lives. . . He was trying to figure out "president" when he is used to stories with words like "kings" and "rulers" and things like that. So he said, "Mom, does the PRESIDENT give you PRESENTS?" Not so much. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I was laying with Colt the other night talking about moving and how quickly he would make friends and learn the new language. I told him that by the time he turned six, he would probably be able to speak pretty well!! Colt threw his hands up and starting laughing!! He said, "Good one Mom! That's a good joke! hahahaha." Um, I was serious :)
