Colin's Happy Place

Colin and I play at Gorgeous Mille about 2-3 times a week - it's our little "home away from home." He can do all the messy art projects and sensory table activities that I'd rather not clean up at our house (paint, sand, play doh, shaving cream, ball pit, etc) and I can visit with other moms and sip coffee. It's the perfect happy place for me AND Colin!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I woke Colin up, and I told him it was mommy's birthday. He said, "No, it's MY birthday." Hmmmm...someone wants to steal MY thunder (just a little bit.) LOL

It wasn't until mid morning (when he had heard several people tell me happy birthday) that he accepted it was indeed my birthday (not his).

One of the highlights of my day was Colin screaming, "Happy Birthday Mommy" followed by the biggest bear hug ever. It's the little things that can make your day special. And speaking of little things, this was my all time favorite birthday card...

The inside reads, "Pampering is your birthright! Thanks Ducky!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Green was the color of the day, so Colin took a green bath to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

Conversations with Colin

Last night at dinner Colin said, "I want Daddy's eye ball!"
David and I looked at each other and giggled...Colin wanted Daddy's "ipad."
Once we corrected him, Colin laughed right along with us. I love that he has a good sense of humor.

Here is more evidence of Colin's funny bone...


David: You didn't take a nap - you're a little stinker.
Colin: I'm not a stinker - just a little boy!
David: You are super cute Colin.

Splash!

What do you do on a rainy day? Well if you are like me, you cuddle up on the couch with a dog in your lap and watch a good movie until you doze off to sleep for a couple of hours.

But if you are like Colin, you put on your rain boots, run outside and jump in every muddy puddle that you see! Cousin Charlotte followed Colin's lead, and they entertained each other (and the entire family) until the sun set on their rainy day adventure.

Colin's shirt says, "I Play Dirty." Coincidence? Maybe.




And the grand finale...a double bubble bath...
