I Love Kids

I love kids. Kids a give me the warmest, fuzziest feeling in the world.

Colin is my oldest...sheesh, he is going to be 30 next year!!! How did that happen? I remember the day the doctor laid him on my stomach after being born. It was like..."Well hello! Long time no see."

He was the prettiest little boy you ever saw. I will try and dig up some pictures and scan them in. He looked like a little angel. Giant brown eyes with lashes you could trip over if they got any longer. Colin went every where with me and he would just tag along, happy to enjoy the ride.

I remember trying to explain the use of "me" and "you". He would confuse them and used 'me' when he should use 'you' and visa versa. That was a challenge to get straightened out!

I so enjoyed our "talks". He would try to figure out the physical universe from his 2 year old viewpoint. My favorite being - "Mommy, the sun melts into the trees at night and when the moon comes up it freezes it and the sun comes back up."

One of his favorite things to do was take walks and collect things. I always had to remember to bring a bag to carry rocks, sticks and whatever else caught his eye.

Now he is grown and loves to carry on a debate over anything! He likes to think that he is smarter than me, he can think that. But I do learn new viewpoints from him! And I love it when I can pull one over on him!
