Recently Colsen picked up a calculator and started pushing the buttons intently. Strider tried to take it away, and Cole yelled, "NO! I HAVE TO MAKE A TEXT!!"(The interesting thing is... neither Pete nor I have texting capabilities -- no phone plan with this included, and no knowledge of how to even begin texting... yes, we're old folks now. So I don't know how Colsen has learned that this is something all the young folks should be doing!)

Last weekend Pete and Strider were attempting to watch Star Wars -- a rite of passage for all boys, right? Colsen was apparently trying to track with it all. But he wasn't quite getting it, I guess, because at one point some creature picked up R2D2, and Cole turned to Pete and said, "Why is he picking up that man's vacuum?"

And this morning I was trying to give him the exciting news that his new cousin was about to be born today. I said, "Aunt Katie is about to have her baby!" And I expected some response like, "I want to see him," or "What is his name going to be?" Instead, the only thing Cole wanted to know was, "Does Aunt Katie have a bouncy seat for the baby??" Important things first, I guess.
And on that note, we're eagerly waiting word this afternoon to hear that this little nephew of ours has come into the world... Should be soon!
If watching star wars is a rite of passage then I'm not a man. Tell Colsen not to worry about it.
ReplyDeleteYou'll know all about texting when they get older. Trust me...it's a good way to keep up with them!
