Joy

• So many things to be joyful about, and this little co-op is one of them! Kolton's preschool this year has been a great group, moving at the perfect speed, surrounded by friends. It's been as fun for me as for this little man.
• He's incredibly smart! He can identify many letters and numbers into the 30's at 3-years-old!
• He's got a temper that will knock your socks off. He loses it, and it's often hilarious! 
• He is still so sweet. People are often surprised by how loving he is... how snuggly and kind he is to his sisters.
• He will also play superheroes with the best of them. His imaginative play is priceless and looks nothing like his female predecessors.  
• He can build anything.
• He loves to be read to... even more than Xiana did I venture to say. I saw a quote the other day that said, "love for reading develops on mommy's lap." I loved it. It is so true for him.  For a kid as addicted to tv as he is, he'd do anything to be read to.  It's lovely now that Xiana can read for when I'm too busy.
• His antics are hilarious... he has an explanation for everything.
• The other day he was sitting on Garrett's shoulder.  He said, "I'm the angel on your shoulder." Xiana climbed on his other shoulder and said, "no, I'm the angel, you're the devil on his shoulder." Kolton replied, "oh yeah, because I'm the boy."
• He's daddy's little helper. He loves to build fires, gather wood, work on projects, and most of his imaginary conversations detail the events of his busy project building day.
• His make believe also includes a lot of "okay honey, buckle up"s and other sweet terms of endearment aimed at his imaginary world which is almost enough to make a mama cry.
