WHY

The connections are crazy

9/28/2014

After an extremely long weekend I was ready to go to bed early. Colton was missing his mommy because I had barely seen him this weekend. I figured we could snuggle and watch a movie in bed.

I did not want to watch mighty farm machines, diggers and dumpers, or Trains and everything else that makes loud, annoying sounds. I could watch Frozen over and over, so I decided Frozen it was.

Colton cuddled down and exclaimed, "Mickey Moussse" when he saw the image of Mickey. He sang along with the songs and quoted the film (sometime moments before the character). Since he's on steroids because of the croup, his attention span has waned and his temper is short.

He started getting unruly just a few moments into the film. The steroids make him a different boy. I called daddy into the room and had him take Cokie out. I told him that if he was good for five minutes he could come back.

George said he sat down and was a perfect little person for his five minutes. Daddy let him back in the room and we resumed the movie. I actually turned it back from French to English and placed it to the "Do you want to build a snowman" segment.

We watched until Queen Elsa went all "freeze crazy" and Colton exclaims, "Me no want to watch a Walt Disney movie."

Alrighty then. So I pushed stop and we went to sleep.

Once Upon A Time

Colton is a Story teller - He's a bit morbid. Sometimes the puppy in his story runs away (I don't think he knows what this means. I think he sees it as the puppy runs). But sometimes the puppy watches a movie. The end.

You Have to Know the Rules Before you Break Them

The ladies at daycare today said that Colton is "the boss" on the playground. He is constantly reminding the other kids of the rules. "You no take your shoes off." "Be nice." etc.

Although these bossy actions will get him "unliked" in the future, I'm quite glad he takes pride in following the rules now.
