Dancing and Sensitivity Training

Hey Everyone,

Did you know that I L-O-V-E the band Train? Yep, my favorite song for about a year has been "Soul Sister" (LOVE that one, don't you?). I know all the words, and if I'm in the right mood, I'll belt them out with Mommy. Anytime we're in the car, I'll ask if she has "Soul Sister" available for the spinner, and I usually make her play it over and over again. Yesterday I decided to let Mommy and Daddy listen to the rest of the songs on the CD and I found that I also like this little ditty...it's good for dancin'! Watch and see:



Also, Mommy got quite a kick out of this comment from me last week as we were playing together on the couch:
Collin (stops playing and gets really serious): "Goodness, I'm afraid your belly is getting really big!"
Mommy couldn't stop laughing - guess I said something right!

It's a .... (a note from Mommy)

It's a BOY!! Yep, Collin is going to be a big brother. Mommy & Daddy are thrilled, although Collin is a bit more interested in trains...or bicycles...or TV...or just about anything else. I thought I'd take you all on a look back at just how cute we make 'em - some of our favorite early shots of our little #1:

We're looking forward to seeing just how cute little boy #2 will be!

P.S. A big thanks to Collin for letting me borrow his blog. He'll be back soon to share more fun!

All I Want for Christmas

Hi Everyone,




Guess what? I went to see Santa and told him the 2 things I really wanted for Christmas: 1) a green bicycle, and 2) a train that has a trailer with wheels. Yep, that's what I want most of all. Mommy & Daddy keep telling me that I have to be good so that Santa will want to bring my toys. Jingle Bell is also keeping his eye on me. He's my elf, and he goes to tell Santa how GOOD I've been every night. I really hope he hasn't noticed a few of the things I've done tonight!!

I can't hardly wait until Christmas!
Love,
Collin

Little Michael

Tonight's Conversation:

Mommy: Hi Short Stuff. Is your name Short Stuff?
Collin: No, my name's Michael....Little Michael!

(and there's a LOT of truth to that!)

A Fun Day with a Friend

Today my friend Cole and I got to hang out! We went to the playground and played with the construction equipment in the sand table, the cars, the balls, and of course all the slides!

What a fun day!

I'm Getting So Big...and Handsome!!

I am so proud of my new backpack!

Mommy's Jealous!

Here's my conversation with Mommy this morning:

Mommy: Are you a good boy, Collin?

Collin: Yes

Mommy: Are you Mommy's Good Boy?

Collin: No, Sloane's Good Boy

Mommy (gasp!): What?!

Collin: Collin is Sloane's Good Boy!

So who is Sloane? Well, Sloane is one of my best friends at school. She's actually my girlfriend, although I pretty much hug on everybody there. Mommy thinks she has too much influence on me - whatever that means. Here's a picture of me and Sloane at our Valentine's Day party this year:

And here's a picture of me "petting" her:

And here's a picture of me hugging (kissing?) her:

I think Mommy's jealous. This morning she gave my friend Davis an extra hug to make herself feel better. Davis likes Mommy!

Later -

Collin (aka "Casanova")
