How are you?

Colin is just on a streak. He keeps saying the funniest things, and we don't even write them all down, but the ones we do make an effort to take note of are the priceless ones.

So, Colin has always mixed up 'How are you?' with 'How old are you?'. When anyone asked him how he was doing, he'd always respond with 'I'm THREE!'

So, Joe made the effort to finally try to correct his response last night. He taught him the difference - so they demonstrated Colin's new answer to the 2 questions.

Joe: okay Colin. Let's show mommy. Colin, How ARE you?
Colin: good.
Joe: How OLD are you?
Colin: 3!!

Of course, I interrupt everything and decide to recognize that Colin can soon say he's 3 and a half soon. Like all children, the half is important and he's intrigued.

Sharon: let's try again - How ARE you?
Colin: *thinking.....* I'm good and a half.

Colin Says

Joe was about to launch a paper airplane he had made for Colin, and asked him, "Are you ready?"

Colin responded," I was BORN ready."

Mind Blowing

Some things just blow Colin's mind.

Me: You know why you need to sleep tonight?
Colin: Yah. Because I need energy for Blaike's birthday party at the Jungle Gym.
Me: and you know what else they'll probably have? Cake!
Colin: *puts both hands on head* That's. Crazy. Cake at the Jungle Gym???????????

First Girlfriend?

Joe's posted this:

For Colin and I's bedtime routine tonight, he asked me how I met mommy, and why we got married. After I told him our story, I asked him who his favorite girl is, and he said "Emma".

"Which Emma?"

"Uncle Ben's Emma. We shared cheese together. I real real really like her".

Father's Day

Life lessons Joe has taught Colin:
1. how to kill Diablo
2. how to crack pistachios with a computer sound card
3. how to 'take damage' when pretend fighting
4. somersaulting off the couch
5. and, dancing shamelessly

Best dad for Colin? I think so. Happy Father's Day Joe.
