Colinspeak

Colin is devastatingly cute and grown up with his new, short-boy haircut. The long 70s look was great while he had curls, but since he seems to be growing straight hair now, its better when its shorter and shorter. Plus, he is so gender-conscious in everything! It's all boy/girl, black/white, ying/yang with him. And, of course, everything boy is better. If we weren't careful, I'm sure we'd have a little male chauvinist piglet on our hands.

He's also very tender-headed, so the minimal grooming is appreciated, also.

He is very difficult to photograph, moving precisely when I press the button, or pulling some crazy "fat turkey" face. He is always game to pose while holding (terrorizing?) the kittens.




While Anna is extremely gifted linguistically, Anthony and I have always joked that Colin speaks English as a second language. (Don't ask me what the first was). I have written down some of the adorable things he's come up with this summer:



"That he do." ...we hear this one frequently

"Shoes is a great place for your feet."

"Nice potty you got there, Daddy!"

"He didn't PATCH, Mommy." ...referring to an egg

"Goodnight. Now go out, Daddy. This is my bed....but I can share!"

"This is a boy train. You don't need tickets." ...referring to my Highlander

"My penis is folded the wrong way."

"Stinky cheese makes me feel yummy." Amen, brother!
