Crazy Coleman!

You have to love this kid! I get this look several times during the day...I was glad to have captured it. Coleman makes me laugh (and almost cry) everyday! He is so particular about everything.

Don't think about carrying him to his room after his bath-he wants to walk!

His food has to be just the right way in just the right place or he has a little tantrum, followed by a time-out on the stairs.

He does manage to use "please" and "thank-you" quite frequently, but if you try to give him something he doesn't like he will cry, fall to the floor and scream "NO THANK YOU!".

His (three) blankets have to be just right for bed time. His feet HAVE to be covered completely. Sometimes he likes the frog blanket first, then the animal blanket, and the turtle blanket on top. But sometimes is it the animal blanket first, then the frog blanket and last the turtle blanket. But, sometimes he likes just two blankets the frog blanket first etc... Anyway, you get the idea.

He loves to climb up and get snacks out of our cupboards. He is constantly in the fridge looking for food. I have to tie it shut-which of coarse leads to another tantrum.

If you do something he doesn't like (like sing in the car) he will yell "Stop it!". Wonder where he got that from?

He is not afraid to torture Canyon, and makes him cry at least once a day. He will take his toys and run and hide, hit him with a toy or push him off the seat and steal his food. (Canyon is too tender hearted to fight back, but he is learning to hold his own).

When he doesn't get his way in public he is very LOUD! I usually ignore the behavior or try to distract him, but I still get quite a few stares. I wish I could take him to the library, but he is just to loud. Now I prefer to go when Brandon is home and I can concentrate while I am there looking for books instead of chasing him around.

He usually goes around the house "acting" most of the day. He finds any toy and uses it as a gun, and points it at me while he give me the 'evil eye', and then makes shooting noises toward me. Lovely! I guess he learns that from his older brothers. He also loves to "act" like Buzz Light-year and yells "to infinite n beyond" while jumping off of the couch or a table.

I could go on and on....

But, despite his stubbornness, he is really quite a good kid. He really makes me smile most the time. He has such a cute personality and he is such a clown!! The boys and I laugh at all the silly things he does all day long.

I love when he gives me little kisses and little hugs and when he says "Love you" at night. I love that he will now snuggle with me after he takes a nap. I love that he says "sorry" all the time (even if it means he has done something he shouldn't). I love how he says "HI, I'M HERE" really loud when he enters a room to capture every ones attention. I love the look on his face when he is being ever so sweet. He loves people and doesn't hesitate to talk to anyone or say "hello". He is my little buddy! I love this little guy!
