A Dragon's Birthday

Kolton came up to me this morning and told me that it was his dragon's birthday and we needed to sing happy birthday to him and get him a cake. So, we gathered his dragon's friends around, made a cake, and proceeded to sing him happy birthday.

Look at his cake--what a lucky dragon!

Singing "Happy Birthday."

His imagination is going crazy lately and I love it. He loves to role play! He vegged out for about 2 days this last weekend when he was totally sick but he has made up for it in the last couple of days! Don't get me wrong, he keeps asking to watch shows all day, but when he's told no (even after the 33rd time) he'll say "OK" and go play with his dinosaurs and dragons and "Toy Story Guys." They go to the park, the mall, take naps and we all have to whisper in the house so we don't wake them up, hide from monsters, say prayers together and just about anything else you can think of. His dinosaurs are good sharers (he tells me this all the time) and will share their food with Kolton all the time! :)

He's growing up!!

About a week or two ago Kolton wanted to color so I got him some paper and markers and he went and sat in the kitchen and went at it. Brady and I were in the living room watching t.v. when he came in and showed me the picture he drew of himself. He was so proud!

So, we sent a picture of his picture to my mom and she called him to tell him she loved his picture. She asked him to draw a picture of her and so he immediately went and drew one right away. I asked him what the "x" was on Grandma's face and he said, "That's Grandma's smile" in a very matter of fact voice (like I should know that already).

And then Grandma asked him to draw a picture of Grandpa. This one is a little more compact (he drew the arms and hands pretty much on the face), so it is kind of hard to see but he drew it and came up to Brady and I and said, "he has 2 hairs. Not a lot of hair because he's Grandpa Moffett." Brady and I cracked up! ;) He has since drawn another picture of Grandma and Grandpa and on that one Grandpa only had 2 hairs again. :)

He has now developed a fancy for drawing monsters. They have sharp teeth and mean eyes and everything! I love it!

A Dusting

Monday we had a little snow come through Moore. The second Kolton saw it was snowing he wanted to be out there! So, we bundled him up and sent him out. He loved it! He played and played and played!



Then he started trying to pick it up and come throw it on me. I, obviously, was not a fan of this (I was just in my pajamas taking a break from painting), so I convinced him to just "throw" the snow he had at the car.


After about 15 minutes or so I was freezing, so I sent him in the backyard and I went inside and opened the back window so I could watch/hear him. He went straight for the trampoline!




I'm glad we got one "snowfall" this year so he could have this morning of playing in it! It was gone and melted by the afternoon, but he enjoyed it while he could. I'm now ready for it to be spring!

Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam!

Last Sunday was Kolton's first week as a Sunbeam in Primary at church. The primary president told me who is teacher was, so throughout the week I had been talking about Sis. Maruska and how she was going to be his new teacher and showed him what she looked like and everything. I don't know if I've created this or if Kolton is just like this, but he does better with new things (or anything really) if I explain it all to him and tell him before hand what is going to happen. He doesn't like to be surprised. :) Anyway, Brady and I had been talking about his teacher and Primary all week so that he'd hopefully be prepared. We didn't know what to expect, though, as far as him adjusting to a new teacher (and not having toys to play with :)). Come time for Primary I took him to the primary room and they have two sunbeam classes and he was on the list for the other teacher. Crap. I love the other teacher, she's a sweetheart, it just wasn't who I told Kolton was going to be his teacher. I sat him down in the chair and told him that Sis. Maruska wasn't his teacher. His bottom lip started to quiver and I thought...well...I guess the adjustment isn't going to be easy...Other parents started coming in and they were confused because their children were listed with the opposite teacher then they thought as well. So, we asked a member of the primary presidency and she switched them all. The SECOND Kolton sat down next to his teacher he smiled and never looked back. Hallelujah! Brady and I have done our fair share of peaking on him in singing and sharing time and looks adorable! He just sits straight up in his chair with either his hands on his lap or raised up in the air to volunteer. He LOVES it and LOVES his teacher. We are so excited for him and still can't believe he has done so well!
After church I tried to take a picture of him and he was so excited he wouldn't sit still :) so these are what I have...

He's a little Sunbeam now! So adorable!
