Year 2, Day 224

Colton had a great day at school.  Apparently, he has found his teacher's Steelers emblem on her id badge and spent the day pointing to it and saying "football."  After leaving school, he went to pick up his pictures with mom and then came home for a nice long nap.  When up, he joined mom and dad for dinner before going to bed.

Year 2, Day 223

Well, once again Colton was a trooper today as he trudged through some errands with mom for the entire morning (she promised him that if they got them all done today, Wednesday would be spent doing something fun!).  He was a pretty good sport about the whole thing, even though he was up super early this morning (6AM).  Once home, he spent his before and after nap time playing and taking Chipper for a walk.  

Year 2, Day 222

Colton woke up in a fantastic mood at Meme and Papa's house (at least according to them) and spent the morning with them until mom arrived to pick him up.  Once she did, they were off to meet Aunt Genna and Aunt KC for Genna's birthday lunch at Cheesecake Factory.  The time change or busy days of late must have worn our little man out, though, because he came home to take a 3.5 hour nap!  When he woke up, he was ready to play, watch some football (although not the Steelers who unfortunately weren't playing until night time), and eat some Chinese food with mom and dad until bed time.  

Year 2, Day 221

Well, today was Colton's last (at least regular season) tailgate and ODU football game of the season.  He was happy to have Uncle Ryan and Aunt KC's car to hang out in and explore in order to avoid the cold temperatures.  But once he got to the game, he turned on game mode and got pretty into it as usual.  He left the game with Meme and Papa to go spend the night at their house so mom and dad could go hang out a bit for Aunt Genna's birthday celebration.  

Year 2, Day 220

Colton has been a real trooper this week bearing with mom as she runs countless errands and today was no exception.  He hit up Target, FedEx, the Children's Place, and mom's old school today to have lunch with her former coworkers.  Mom did reward him with a little play time on the playground when he was done.  After a much-needed nap, he joined mom, dad, and Uncle Jordan for dinner at Wild Wing.

Year 2, Days 218 and 219

What a busy couple days Colton has had!  Yesterday, Colton spent the morning with Meme while mom was at the doctor's office.  At night, he and mom went for a photo session with Meme's friend at the beach.  Although cute as usual, Colton was quite the rascal at the beach and seems to have discovered an affinity for throwing sand.  After school today, Colton had to join mom at Uncle Ryan and Aunt KC's house as the movers helped clear out his future big boy room.  In the evening, he joined the entire Kletz clan for Aunt Genna and Uncle Gregg's birthday dinner at Il Giardino's.  As usual, he commanded all the attention and was a very good boy!

Year 2, Day 217

After his morning at school, Colton came home for some play time.  Mom was a little excited to have her camera back and turned the afternoon into an impromptu photo session, so enjoy:
