I have a Two year old?!

June 30th was Collin's 2nd birthday. I can't believe he is 2 already. We went to the zoo (I'll post pictures soon) with some friends and then had some friends over later for cake and ice cream. It was such a fun and special day. The highlights for him were the balloons and seeing a digger at work. He is such a sweet and wonderful little boy. He is challenging us and asserting his independence which can be extremely frustrating, but he is also so sweet, loving, and stinking cute. He brings us so much joy and happiness we just can't imagine life without him. I was so terrified to have a boy, but now I can't imagine not having him. He is my little buddy and just lights up our lives. We are so blessed to have our Collin boy. We love you Stinks

Collin the shots, This months best Collinisms

Tonight during prayers Collin prayed to please bless that the baby will kick soon. And then he later said in the prayer and please bless the baby to be happy and eat his dinner and breakfast. so cute! Think he's excited.
Collin and Marissa were in the back of the car arguing saying "mine", "mine", "mine", back and forth. FInally Collin stops and says, "Marissa what are we talking about". ha ha that's what I want to know. They're already fighting over nothing.
While singing bedtime songs, I asked Collin what song he wanted. He said, "the one about Jesus as a baby and the gingerbread man house." I could not figure it out and he kept holding fast to the gingerbread man. Finally I figured it out, it was Away in a Manger. ha ha
At the grocery store Collin saw brown eggs, very excited he said, "look Mom, chocolate eggs!" He was disappointed when I told him the truth.
Collin found an ant in our house during quiet time. He decided to bring it into his room and let him "play". He called him little ant. He was so disappointed when he disappeared. He told me, "little ant is really good at hiding" as we searched for him.
Today I was telling Collin something was hard and I wasn't sure if I could do it. He said, "Mom, I know you can do it, cause you have power in your mind." LOVE IT! I think he's my best cheerleader
Collin and I were talking about his full name. He has a hard time grasping his middle name and last name. He finally got it. I told him Daddy's full name and he then told me mine: Mommy Michael Brandt. ha ha, I had a great laugh with that!
