I love this huge smile on Colton's face so I thought I would share!!

 

Last night we went to play with Zoey and Charlee!  Colton and Charlee were very excited to be together to play again.  They both seem to talk about eachother all week, so our get togethers are always a really great time.  Colton's favorite word this week is 'no'.  It seems to be his answer before he even really knows what the question is.  Austin has been testing him . . .

Austin:  Colton do you want to go to the beach?
Colton:  No
Austin:  Mommy, Colton doesn't want to go to the beach?  Colton we could wear our beach clothes.
Colton:  Oh . . . (thinking, pondering)
Austin:  So, do you want to go to the beach?
Colton:  mmmmm . . . no
And then both boys break out into laughter, since Colton has now just said the funniest thing ever. 

These little conversations are happening all the time and I love being able to listen to them.

Austin has also been very inquisitive around bed time.  I'm sure it is just a new stalling tactic but he sure does come up with some good questions.

Austin:  Mommy, I need a drink of water.
Me:  Okay.  (I head to his bathroom to get him a drink of water)
Austin:  Mommy, once I drink all of the water from my bathroom how do we get it filled back up?
Me:  Well, we have a pipe that runs from your sink to the water tower and we get water from the water tower. 
Austin:  Well, doesn't the potty water go into a pipe too? 
Me:  Yes, it does.
Austin:  Well, how does the water from the potty know where to go?  Does the potty water come back up the pipe to my sink!?! 
Me:  No, it is two different pipes.  So, the clean water comes to the sink and the potty water goes away from the house.
Austin:  Where is away?  Where does the potty water go?
Me:  To the sewer.
Austin:  And what does it do at the sewer?
Me:  The sewer is just where all of the potty water goes.
Austin:  (Clearly not convinced this is the right answer)  Oh, okay mommy.

We are looking forward to a fun weekend!!
