The Amazing Mind of a Child

We got to keep Colin this weekend. He is growing so fast. I got tickled at him when he first came in....his little mind went into overload. He saw the dog, the cat, the Rangers (on TV), Granny, Pops, his toys, and pizza all at the same time. He was just kept repeating, Buddy, Kitty, toys, pops, over and over.

I am so amazed at his memory. We all went over to Jan and Kelvins to visit. He remembered that when he stayed with us this summer, he and I went went over to Aunt Jans house every morning to go walking. We turned down her street and he started saying, "Aunt Jan's house...go walk". We got out of the car and he went to the garage door (which is where we used to go in) and waited for it to open. We finally got him in the front door but he kept saying "Aunt Jan...go walk". He knew the routine....Jan would get water out of the fridge and then we would go back out the garage door. He kept going to the fridge trying to open it and then going to the door saying "walk!". I finally decided to take him on a little walk, so Jan opened the garage door and we started out on our walk...well we got to the driveway and he went to the back of the car and said "stroller".. he always got to ride in the stroller on our previous walks. We went down to the end of the street and turned around. When we got back to Jan's house he went back to the garage door and said "open". I kept trying to get him to go to the front door with me but he wouldn't do it....he just stood by the garage and said "ready, set, go!!!" I guess those were supposed to be the magic words. I am just amazed that he remember all of that from a couple of months ago.

We all got a good laugh from him....when he was ready to go home he meant it! He must of gotten tired of trying to tell me that he wanted to get in the car....he went over to Jan and said, "I want to get in the car Janice". He has never called her that...it is alway Aunt Jan! It was so funny!

I enjoyed him so much this weekend...of course Jenni and Tim were here too and we had a great time with them also. Tim is in the doghouse with me...I forgot why but he is still there just in case he asked (tee-hee).
