Colin is due for some bragging and his half birthday is the perfect time!
First, I will say Colin's love for his little brother is so heart warming. He constantly wants to be with Ryan. Whether its holding him while watching tv, laying down near him while he is on his play mat, holding his hands or feet whenever possible and he must give hugs and kisses to him before bed. Once when Ryan was getting fussy Colin said, "Oh, let me go over and give him some happiness". Que Mama's heart exploding with pride.
Learning to be a great babysitter.
Colin is extremely expressive. He exudes his own happiness with vigor as well as his frustrations. He tells you exactly how he is feeling. Though this comes with some challenges when you are four, I think it is such a strong quality to have and pray he continues to express himself.
He is very creative. He has a wonderful imagination while playing with his toys. He loves to build and does magna tiles for hours every day. He loves to color and is super at staying in the lines. He can write his name. Though sometimes it is in mirror effect!
Coloring for 30 mins before school!
He is in preschool 4 mornings a week. Thinking back to a year ago and how I was nervous about how school would go, he has done brilliantly. He is a good listener and follows directions. He is also great at making buddies! His best buddy in class is Giovanni.
He continues to look up to Whitney and is so excited when she gets home from school. They also sleep over in Colin's room together every weekend. He and Lauren play well together but they also stir up some trouble. But as a whole we are super proud of the relationships between them all.
Best buds!
Back porch thoughts.
2-3 days a week he doesn't fall asleep during his nap time. He rests for an hour then I get to have some one on one time with this special guy!
Colin is my little prince and continues to steal my heart with his big hazel eyes and smirky smile.
