Oh lord, Colton is 4!!!!

Oh lord, Colton is 4! I really cannot believe that my baby boy is four! Wow, it seems that we just brought him home and were trying to adjust from 1 to 2 babies. Colton is absolutely a special child in may ways. I don't say this lightly. Colton is reckless abandonment wrapped up with compassion and love. He is sort of like a sour patch kid, mean then nice! I love this child's spirit and he is such a challenge and blessing all at once.

Enough of the mushy stuff..
Colton wanted to have his party at Chuck E Cheese after we decided having it at Ray's grandmother's house wasn't going to work due to her having a recent hospital stay and a couple other obstacles we were facing. SO Chuck E Cheese it was...and on a Saturday! Well, I must say they make the party process pretty smooth and streamlined. No complaints in that department. However, Colton was a weee bit overwhelmed when it all started. He didn't want to get his birthday crown, medallion, or stand up in his seat to be recognized as the birthday boy. Moreover, we did get him to blow out his candle, that was progress. We invited family and our neighbor so it was a small group but was way easier to manage.

Oh, and Colton didn't want to get in the booth so Deedaw stepped up to the challenge! Ha. Well after hours there and a puppy trip next door, it was all and all a good party.

And Colton racked up on a ton of guns for his presents!!!??? Eekk!
