I'm Sorry for...

I love my little ColeeOllie's tenderness that comes at such a sweet time. We will be driving down the road or sitting having lunch and Cole will say" Mom, I am sorry for yelling and talking back at you. or today, I am sorry you have a cold."

He thinks of things and remembers later and tells you I'm sorry for...

Like today he told his cute cousin He was sorry for not letting her watch Snow White (a few days later). I love his tenderness. Sure he can throw fits with the best of them and be rough and tuff. But boy do I ever love him.

He teaches me so much and helps me realize instead of forgetting about it that I can also, days later say I'm sorry!

Shrek is a bad influence...

I was on the phone chatting it up while Coleman was in his room playing. I knew he was in there playing because I can always hear him. He usually makes crashing noises with his cars. Sometimes he will throw all his toys around just to hear the crashing noises they make. We are trying to teach him to be softer with his toys. I realized mid conversation that I had not heard him for a few minutes. So I peeked in to his bedroom to see what he was up too. His pants and underwear were in a pile on the floor and than I noticed the marker in his hand. He was drawing all over the area that is usually covered by underwear. Yep. It was all over his legs, and bum, and tummy not to mention the other place. So this is why it had suddenly gotten silent in the house! I also noticed he had drawn all over his shrek guy. I totally feel that Shrek is a bad influence on my child but he sure loves that movie. I quickly told my sister that we have marker in places we should not and I'd have to call her back. When I went back into the room he had hid in his closet. I had to control myself and be serious. Me: Coleman why did you draw all over yourself? Cole: I fought it be soooo funny! Just hearing him say that made me have to bite my cheek in order not to laugh.

This is not the first time with body art of course but yes the first time that it was quite focused all in one area! We later talked briefly how your body is a temple. Pretty sure he got it. At least till next time.
