Misc. Collin stuff

Collin is so "into" getting to be a big brother and us having a baby. He kisses and hugs my stomach about 10 times a day. He has also started asking the baby questions. He will look at my stomach and say "Baby, what's your favorite color?" and then put his ear up to my stomach to listen. He usually tells me "the baby didn't answer, I think he's asleep." He also has been telling me that Santa needs to bring the baby a rattle, because babies like rattles. And it doesn't help that everyday he tells me that my stomach is getting bigger....lol. His teacher today asked if he had a big brother. I told her no, but we are expecting a baby in the spring. She said that he has been telling the class/teachers that he has a big brother. I told her that he's going to be a big brother, but right now he is the only child (not for long). It's cute that he's telling his friends about our exciting news.

He has been in school for one month now and he loves every minute of it. He got to be playground leader last week & that was a big deal to him. He is learning more Spanish than last year. He can now count to ten in Spanish & he knows some colors & some misc. words. It's cute because if I say it wrong, he will correct me.

On Saturday, he asked Tony & I if he could get a snowboard. We asked him what was he going to do with it & he said "tricks." He said he wants a blue one like Brent's. (Brent stored his snowboard in our garage over the summer).

A couple weeks ago, I asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween. He thought about it for a minute & then he said "a bat." I asked him "you mean Batman?" he said "no just a bat." So he is going as a bat this year. His costume is very simple, but it's cute & original. He has already started making "bat noises." He is so excited for Halloween. Then, he asked me a few days ago what I was going to be for Halloween. I told him that I was just going to be a mommy. He said "well you need to get a mommy costume."
