This year was the year for Colby. He had to indure Caden's bday in Aug (when the asking when it would be his bday began) and then Cael's in October, and then mine in November. By the time December FINALLY rolled around, he was beyond excited!!! The great thing about his bday is that it's right after black friday, so I can get him TONS of cool toys for barely anything. He asked for dirt bikes everytime you asked what he wanted. He is REALLY into dirt bikes right now! He loves trucks that have trailors, and animals that can go into the trailor. Ducks (duck duck dynasty!) or horses or elk or dogs or whatever. He also loves four wheelers. He got about 10 trucks and trailors. Also, on the boys third bday we have a money theme and they get their first piggy bank and rolls of coins to put in it. It becomes their mission savings, and everyone has one but him so he was really excited to finally have one. He find money (he knows where to look for Chet and I's coins) and wants to put it in his bank everyday. We also gave him some birthday cake oreos and he was pleased! That could have been one of his favorites. He got to take them around and share with brothers. He felt pretty cool. He also got some super hero things and books. For breakfast he wanted cake. For lunch he wanted popcorn. And for dinner he wanted chicken noodle soup. This has become a new favorite just recently. He picks it for the meal every week while I make my shopping list (7 members of the family, each person picks a meal for that week). However, on his birthday the boys convinced him that Subway at their school would be way better. So, for his birthday lunch we went into the school and he ate with his brothers. He LOVED it! He was telling all their friends he was 3. It was adorable!
Colby is a total cutie!!! He loves to "perform" (but not for others, just our family usually) He loves to dance, and he is actually really good at it. He has awesome facial expressions. He is SUPER smart (worldly smart and shapes colors numbers letters kinda smart), and is a TOTAL manipulator!!! He knows how to work it. He is what I call my baby brat. He corrects me and says, "I not a baby brat, I 3" He loves to snuggle with Chet and I, and is coming out of his shell a little with others outside the family. I took him to my moms ward and when I took him into nursery I told them that he was visiting, and asked him if he was going to be ok and respectful. He starts rolling up his sleeves and then super hero (one arm out in front of him, Cael taught him) walks over to the toys. He is really good at staying with a sitter or my parents or whoever I tell him its ok to stay with. He rarely ever cries when I leave, as long as I promise him that I will be back soon. He talks really well for his age. He LOVES to talk on the phone. He asks me EVERY day if we can go shopping. He loves to go to the "Blue Roof" (which is Walmart!). He is SUPER sad every.single.time. we drop Cael off at preschool. He asks me every day if he can stay if he promises to be really good and mature (I love when he uses that word!) Whenever I go anywhere I ask if anyone wants to go with me (it used to be that once Chet was home, if I had to go anywhere NO ONE was coming with) and he ALWAYS wants to come. He follows Cael like a puppy dog EVERYWHERE!!! I hear him tell Cael almost daily, "I love you Tael. You're my bestest friend!" Cael always hugs him and says, "I know Toby. You are my best friend too!" It melts my heart!!! They are serious too. They are the best of friends!!! They play really well together (although Colby does like to pick on him and be stronger than Cael, just cause he can. It's funny half the time and I want to kick his butt the other half) Colby tells me about 10+ times a day that he is hungry. It drives me mad!!! He eats really well at every meal, so I don't think he's hungry, but if I feed him, he will eat. I don't know if its a bored thing or attention thing, or what it is, but it drives me crazy!!! He eats a TON of food. He loves treats! He asks me every morning when we return from taking the boys to school if he can have a treat. And every morning I ask him when we have treats? in which he replies "After lunch." He LOVES, and I mean loves loves loves to read. He would be totally happy if I sat all day long and read to him. I make the boys read to him everyday to help them reading (Caden just reading and I make the boys read with expression and punctuation to him) Cael has a great memory, so he just sets and recites from memory all their books to him. He probably reads with someone about 15-20 books a day. He can also recite most books like Cael because we only have about 30 so it's the same ones over and over and over. He tells me about 10 times a day, "Mom, you a princess." Whenever I do anything nice for him he tells me. He loves to help make anything. He pulls a chair to the counter. If I won't let him pour with me, he just sets and watches. He would rather eat homemade over packaged every day. If I take him out to eat for lunch, he will just beg to go home and eat. He likes routine. He loves to be with his brothers, mostly Cael. He is very picky about his clothes. He has an idea of the way he likes to dress, and is very vocal about it if he doesn't like his outfit. He loves shoes. He would love it if he had 20 pair. He loves "class" at church, and is MAD if we miss church for any reason (which is very rare) He wants to go even when he has the flu! We LOVE having him in our family! Even though I am on the verge of crazy.. I wouldn't trade him for the world. He makes me laugh, smile, be angry, frustrated almost every day. I love him to pieces!!!
