Such a weirdo...

Colin has taken an interest in "writing" words and practicing his letters as well as drawing and coloring. I did keep one page of his alphabet letters at age 4. It's too cute. As he was drawing an army (a usual subject matter), I wanted to take a picture of him consentrating. Once he noticed what I was doing he went into silly mode.

4 Year Old Logic

"You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit." said Colin when I explained this is what is for breakfast, bud.
Where did you learn that?
"At my old school."
What does "fit" mean? Asked Nana.
"Not 'fit', it's 'fet'. Fet is a feather and if you throw it you don't get any food.

My Young Jedi

Upon receiving a Darth Vader mask and lightsaber for his birthday, Colin asked if he could go to Jedi school. He's also aware of the Weird Al song summarizing the recent Star Wars films about Anikan Skywalker and how he kisses his mom goodbye to go to Jedi school before becoming Darth Vader.

"Mom, can you find me a Jedi school to go to?"
Um...yeah, sure.

A few days later.
"Mom, did you find me a Jedi school? And can you come with me?"
Jedi school?
"Yes, I want to be a Jedi."
I start into a long explanation that Star Wars is a movie and Jedi school is pretend. However, the actors who play Jedis are trained in tumbling and karate. Would those be of interest?
"Yes! I want to learn tumbling and karate!"
Oooo-kay...

Happy 4th Birthday

On the menu at the birthday boy's request:
Transformers themed party with spaghetti and meatballs, salad with cheese and ham, chocolate cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles, and chocolate covered strawberries. We had a busy weekend of fun with family and friends. And, again, Colin made out like a bandit with cool presents.

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas at Nana Mary and Papa Beard's. Colin was able to convince aunts, cousins, and uncle into several games of Twister!

Merry Christmas


Although he was shy this year, Colin did oblige Santa with a huge hug!
