Collin's Favorites

While I was sitting down getting some work done I over heard a conversation between Collin and daddy today that was really fun to listen to. The conversation was all about what were Collin's favorite things.

This is what I learned are Collin's favorites:

Color: Blue and Pink
Food: Chicken Nuggets and French Fries
Drink: Tea and Apple Juice
Toy: Superman and ALL his Ninja Turtle toys
TV Show: Spiderman
Movie: Superman (Man of Steel, he just saw that in the theaters for the first time Saturday Night.)
Friend: Jackson and Jack
Underwear (don't ask me why this question came up): Superman and Batman
Sport: Baseball and Football
Place to go: A movie theater and wal-mart ( this kid is nuts!)
Time of day: Bed time (I don't think I really believe that one!)
Story: Superhero story and Batman story
Bible Story: David and Goliath
Candy: Superman

After hearing this conversation I realized that I need to spend more time talking with my amazing kid. I already knew a lot of these things but to be honest there are several on that list that I had no idea about. Stay tuned as I continue to add to this list in the next few days!

An afternoon with Daddy

This afternoon, due to unforeseen circumstances, Dusty came home early. He was actually home by about 3 P.M. This was right after Collin woke up from his nap. When he saw daddy walk into the house he was the happiest boy in the entire world.

The schedule for the afternoon was a busy one.

We started with a snack while daddy ate his lunch (he hadn't had a chance to eat yet.)
From there we watched a few T.V shows and relaxed.
Once we got the TV out of our system it was time for me to start cleaning up the kitchen and getting ready for dinner.
That made a perfect opportunity for daddy and Collin to play.
First they caught all the bad guys in the livingroom and got rid of them.
After that they needed to make sure all the bad guys were out of his room.
A hard battle was fought but in the end the dynamic duo of Collin and daddy prevailed!
With the bad guys taken care up then it was time to color.
A brand new superman picture colored by the team is now hanging in the bedroom.

Finally it was time for dinner. Spaghetti and veggies! Yum!
 Bath time immediately followed due to the fact that spaghetti sauce was EVERYWHERE!

The day was topped off with some more snuggling while watching cartoons and a bed time story. All in all I have to say that Collin had a really great afternoon with Daddy.

(I'm not sure who will sleep better after all the adventures but I now they are both pretty tired!)

Happy Birthday to Collin

Well its official. Collin is 3 years old. How that happened I will never know. It seems like just the other day I was rocking him to sleep praying I could get a nap in at some point..


But now here he is:
3 years old
3 feet tall
30 pounds....

wow thats a lot of 3's.

Seriously though he is a great kid. He is happy most of the time. Independent, some time too much so. And he is way to smart for his own good. I love having conversations with him because I never know what is going to come up next.

So in short: I LOVE THIS KID!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLLIN!
