Colin had a doctor visit recently. Little guy is still in the 25th percentile for weight...he is 36 lbs which he has been for a while now. I think around his birthday he weighed 35.5, so he has not gained much at all...but he eats a lot, I mean a lot. I think he just has a really good metabolism and is a very active boy. Plus, both Will and I were similar when we were kids. We changed doctors to go somewhere closer to home and I think I will really like her. She did voice a little concern about his size and quized me on what and how much he is eating, but I explained that his other doctors have never voiced any concern and that he has maintained the 25th percentile since he was a baby. I really liked how she interacted with Colin. She was good at including him in the conversation, which Colin likes.
Some recent Colin cuteness:
"Daddy your hugs are too rough. Mama's are nice. You break my bones. You need to hug like mama". Will likes to play tackle Colin...which Colin does not always appreciate.
This kid at TKD was wearing a batman coat (that looked like a cape) - Colin said "I think he is Batman".
Colin and his daycare pal Shannon got married. She tried to get him to dress up in a sequin outfit and Colin tried to run away. They talked it through and settled on something more appropriate for him to wear and then held hands and got married. Then they went and played on their own.
At TKD there are now two Colins. The other one is older than our Colin so they are being called Big and Little Colin. After a few times, Colin said - "I am big too". Master JK said "we need to think of something else".
While we are cleaning up after dinner we started playing what Colin calls Mysteries game -It is where you think of something and you give one hint and then everyone else guesses. Something like "I am thinking of something green". Well, Colin did not quite understand the hinting. He says stuff like, "I am thinking of a volcano and it is red" or he will say "I am thinking of something that is not blue".
Uncle Greggie will appreciate this - Colin was trying on his Marine outfit he bought him and we were trying to explain what a Marine is. Sorry Greg but it was hard trying to explain without using the word "soldier" to describe...we explained it was like a GI Joe - so then Colin started calling it his "shoulder" outfit. He has a hard time with "soldier". He kept pointing to his elbow (thinking shoulder) - We told him to just call it his GI Joe outfit, which he pronounces "GJi".
Colin has an amazing memory. He is able to listen to a song once and will have most of the song down. He also is really good at pointing out classical songs. So, recently Will has been watching these videos poking a little fun at political figures. It is called http://www.badlipreading.com/. It takes video clips of their speaches and just fills in random things. Some of them are pretty funny actually. Well, he let Colin watch a couple of the videos and now Colin is quoting them. Random stuff that makes no sense. His favorite two are "Ice cream is cheap - fact" and "Hi ho Cherry soda". It took me a while to figure out where he was getting these phrases from. If you go to the site, my favorite is Ron Paul.
