If any of you know Colin personally, you know that he is a big baseball fan. He loves him some baseball!!! He loves it so much that he becomes obsessed about any movie that is about baseball. He started with a depp passion for A League of Their Own, he then moved on to The Sandlot and 61*. His newest favorite is a recent classic entitled Fever Pitch. The story is about a obsessed Red Sox fan that has to choose between the team he has loved for 20 years or the woman in his life. Needless to say Colin is not big into the love story, he just likes the parts were they show baseball. Just a week or so ago he decided to repeat one fo his favorite lines from the movie and it will forever ring in my ears. As he was watching the movie in the backseat of the car he yells out, "Get off your knees Blue, your blowing the game." We are horrible parents for letting our son watch a movie with this kind of language and you think we would have learned after the "Oh SH!%" incident from The Sandlot, but what can we do, the kid loves baseball.
Growing up too Fast
This past week Colin and Blake both had major moments happen in their life. Blake turned two years old and we celebrated by having a birthday party at Build a Bear in Downtown Disney. We invited all his little friends to come share in the experience of picking out a bear and dressing it up. The best part was when the party coordinator introduced Blake to the entire store and had them all sing happy birthday with the conclusion being him ringing the big bell. We also had cake and ice cream in the picnic area with Blake making sure to get the cake everywhere on his face and a little bit in his mouth. He opened up some gifts and then handed them to Karissa telling her to open them so that he could play. It was a great day.
Colin had a different kind of experience this week with him losing his first tooth. For about a week it was hanging on to his gums by a thread and we were unable to convince him to let us pull it out. He was push on it with his tongue and he looked like he had a single buck tooth sitting outside his lips. Finally one day Karissa was able to get it out and here is the email she sent me about how it went down:
Colin has FINALLY lost his tooth! He let me play with it for a bit, then I told him I was going to pull it with floss. We made a game of it and he was laughing and jerking his head around. I got the floss to stay, and the next time he jerked his head-VOILA!! It was out! He frantically felt around for it in his mouth with his tongue, and then when he saw I was holding it up, he cried. "MY TOOTH! IT'S GONE! OH NOOOOO!" He cried for a few minutes, and then I took him in the bathroom to show him. He cried again and went into the living room. He went up to the mirror in the living room, smiled at himself for a bit, and then turned and said, "THANKS MOM!" Haha! He's so funny! He was jumping up and down with excitement!
The boys are growing up so fast, soon they will be the ones helping me get cake off my face and checking to see if I am missing my teeth. In the mean time we will just cherish these moments.
