"Oh Coconuts"

Just thought I would share a some Colin Tidbits...since he makes life so interesting and fun!

Colin loves the Disney show Jake and the Pirates (or something close to that) which is about Captain Hook and some kids in Neverland.  He now loves pirates and recently announced that he is going to be one.  So, is Meli apparently.  Colin thinks Meli should be one for Halloween.  Recently, Colin loves the idea of costumes.  The only time he really ask for toy type things is costumes (unless we are in the store and he sees a whole bunch of toys). He wants all sorts of costumes like Optimus Prime, Iron Man, a pirate and probably anything else you can think of. 

"Oh, coconuts!" is his new phrase.  It is something that one of the boys says in the pirate show. 

Recently, Colin has taken the matter of Will's "discipline" into his own hands.  He tried to make Will go in timeout a couple of times for doing something that Colin would get in trouble for.  He has also made his dad apologize for saying bad words. 

Some recent conversations:

Colin: "Daddy!  You can't say *insert bad word*.  That is bad!  You have to say 'sorry"
Will: "Sorry, Colin"
Colin: "It's OK, but you have to be good or no food for you".

Colin: "Daddy!  You can't hit mama's bottom!"
Will: *blushes* "Sorry, Colin"
Colin: "It's OK.  I am so proud of you for saying sorry"
Will: "thanks Colin"

Colin can be a bother at times but he is such a sweet boy and seems to say the right things when you need it.  Even if you need to hear something sweet because of something he said a few minutes beforehand.

Recent conversations:

(As I come out in my bathing suit)

Colin: "Mama! You cannot wear that!  You are too big!"
Mama: *about to cry* "what?"
Colin: "You're too big...only kids are supposed to play in the pool"
Mama: (to Will) "oh thank god, I thought he was telling me I was fat!"

Will: "Colin, isn't mama cool?"
Colin: "No"
Mama: "I am cool"
Colin: "No, mama's beautiful"
Mama: "Aww *heart melts*... I am cool too!"

According to Colin.  Mama and Meli are beautiful and Colin and Daddy are cool.

Will: "Colin, close your eyes and think about what makes you happy (to help him sleep)
Colin: "OK"
Will: "What makes you the most happy?"
Colin: "Mama"


My little sweetie...
