The Food Dance

There is a big decision coming up for us.  Do we kill the nap or not...  He is taking longer to go to sleep and not sleeping as long during his nap.  That break during the day is sooooo nice but maybe he'll sleep longer than 6am each morning.  Either way, it looks as though the nap is on it's way out.  Time will tell I guess.

Colin is doing the type of things little boys do:  climbing and jumping off things, collecting/throwing rocks, getting bumps and scrapes.  If anyone is training for a marathon, take Colin along.  He just runs, a lot, for no reason.  He'll do circles, he'll run back and forth, he'll run around anything.  Apparently daddy had a distinct hunch when he ran.  It's hard to say how similar it looks, but Colin will hunch over a bit and move those arms when he is in full running mode.  Maybe that's some genetic thing...

 Some other highlights:  counting to ten, able to recite a majority of books he gets read a lot, using the potty right after baths/showers.  There may be more, but that is all that is coming to mind right now.

We discovered Colin likes to dance while he eats, sometimes.  He's been doing this for a while, we've just been lazy about getting it recorded.  He recently threw in some body movements too.  It's not a very long dance but it shows the main moves.
