As mentioned earlier, Colsen, as a typical third child in the family, sometimes has to go along with some quirky plans instigated by his siblings. This is all character building, I assume? Everyone knows a third-born adult that they love, right?
Here are some of the things Colsen has been "asked" to do lately...
(Stay in jail)
(push his older siblings in the stroller)
(and go for a walk as a dog)
Colsen, for his part, is learning some good coping skills. Some of his common phrases these days are,
"DON'T!"
"HEY - STOP!"
"NO JAIL!"
"HELP ME!"
"ME, TOO!"
And I'm also getting a kick of how this 1-year old has already learned how to "tell on" his brother and sister. Here are some conversations I had with him this morning:
Me: Colsen, why are you soaking wet??
C: Strider did it!
Me: Why are you crying?
C: Rayna took it!
Me: What happened to this?
C: Rayna breaked it!
All in all, I should probably start being a little more vigilant in trying to protect him, though. A few times I've walked in to the living room after hearing him crying and yelling for me... and found him tied up to a chair. It's no wonder the "jail" game is his least favorite. And is it just coincidental that it happens to be Strider's most favorite?
