Just like Daddy

Colten loves his mommy, no doubt. He is my bud and willing to help me out throughout the day without much hesitation (most of the time). He's great while shopping, running errands and such a great BIG brother....but, oh how he loves his Daddy!!! There is absolutely NO DOUBT who his hero is. His daddy can do anything and everything. Throughout the day, when something comes up and either I can't do it myself or we lose something, Colten's response is always.."Daddy can do it." His daddy is by far the strongest, smartest, funniest, toughest, fastest person in Colten's eyes (I do have to agree with most of them). The best part is he will convince anyone of this if asked, no matter who it is.

He absolutely loves to help daddy do whatever it is. They are both outside now working on my car, actually. He soaks it all up and can give me detailed explanation of whatever they have done together, even days after the event. I really do think it is just about the sweetest thing and my children are so fortunate to have such a caring and involved father, for that I am so thankful!!!

Colten also loooves acting like he's "in charge" and the "boss" of something. Almost daily he asks me if he can be the boss of something. It's been a mix of different things...the boss of our dog Riley, the boss of his toys, the boss of Cambry's toys, the boss of the garage or his room, really it could go on and on. Of course, if we'd let him his absolute favorite request if the boss of Cambry. Most recently during dinner one evening Cambry threw her cup on the floor (which she finds hilarious). Caleb told her "no, that we did not do that at the table" and Colten just stared at her for a moment then said "I wasn't telling her what to do Daddy, I was just giving her your look." It was a pretty good imitation if I say so myself. He casually went back to eating and said "Just trying to help be a grown-up guys." Too funny, thanks buddy...guess we need a little help from time to time.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving this week everyone, I'm thankful for each of you!!!
