Talking Like a Kid

I am going to miss when Gwyn outgrows the little-kid things she says. She has already outgrown calling her brother Cow-lin. She still says usually with an L on the front - lusually. (That is one of my favorites.)

I remember how deep Colin's little voice was, and how seriously he would say normal things, and then cross his arms like he was so cool.

Colin (just now): Do any of them have beards?
Me: Yes.
Colin: Good, then that proves they are wise.

Remember when Kevin used to say "yestertime" when he talked about things that had already happened?

One time Colin yelled, in Target, "Mom! Who is that black guy? Who is the black guy that I like?" It was Batman.

I will post if I remember more. I just like them being little.

Colin's Star

The students at Becky-David get to sign their name on a star in the gym if they surpass all the fitness tests. It includes the mile run, sit and reach, and other tests.

Colin got his name on the star at the end of third grade! I was so excited for him, and he is so proud! Of course, he didn't tell us until the start of 4th grade, but I will take what I can get.

I went looking for the star after a PTO meeting, and didn't see it. Apparently, it is right next to the door and I overlooked it. (Reading teacher in the house!) He showed me at Parent Teacher Conferences.

Both boys are super proud of the mile times. Kevin is 6:29, and Colin is a few seconds slower. Both want to set the record in the school for their grades. There is one student faster than Kevin, and I think the same for Colin. Kevin is considering running track in the spring just to train for it.
