Colton’s First Blog…

So I have been super swamped with work, church, taking care of a new baby and studying for my next insurance exam, so I have been Twittering instead of blogging.  So today I am going to have a guest blogger…my newborn son Colton, who is 6 weeks old today.  This day was momentous in a couple of ways, first as I mentioned he is 6 weeks old and he made his first trip to Wal Mart with mommy and daddy today.  He was so moved by the experience that he wanted to share it with the rest of the world…so without further ado, here is Colton…

Thanks Daddy, this is kind of fun..your Macbook is really cool, I know why you spend so much time on it..oh a bird just flew by the window, that is cool..I wish I could chase that..why do they keep me in this chair..ok, so what am I doing with this computer??  Oh, my fun day at Wal-Mart.  I have really been wanting to see this place that daddy says is mommy’s favorite place to be.  It is really cool how she gives him this look everytime he says it.  Daddy says that look could slice through metal..I think that would be awesome..like a superhero, but I don’t ever see any metal getting cut.. ;-(

So here is what I learned today at Wal-Mart:

• Daddy says mommy gets so stressed she needs blood pressure medicine before she goes there. I know when I get stressed, I like to sit in my bouncy seat. I would share with my mommy but I don’t think she would fit.
• Mommy said people in the Wal-Mart parking lot throw their driving skills right out of the window. I thought that throwing things out the window was littering and was bad, but maybe they have recycling bins for the stuff that goes out the window.
• There was lots of stuff at Wal-Mart.  Daddy liked the video game section.  Mommy just left him there to go get things on the list..
• I learned about this stuff called spandex.  Based on what I saw there should be more stringent regulation (that is a big word for a baby isn’t is daddy??) around people who where spandex in public.  Daddy said that just because they sell it, doesn’t mean everyone should be allowed to wear it.
• Oooohhh there is another bird…maybe Stryder will get it for me…what do you think daddy??
• They sell Jeff Gordon strollers at Wal-Mart…daddy said that if I wanted one of those, I couldn’t live in his house.  I like the rainbow colors…he said I could get a Kyle Busch stroller and then we could knock people out of our way, just like he does on Sundays..that sounds cool…
• People in the Wal-Mart parking lot like to try and hit my daddy on his motorcycle..daddy said he feels like the frog in Frogger trying to dodge the cars. I don’t know what Frogger is, but Mrs. Lisa painted a really cool frog in my nursery. I don’t think it looks like daddy, ok, well maybe it does a little bit.
• We went in the speedy line…I thought that meant fast..daddy said it means the line where people go who don’t know their debit card Pin or who try to count out 1,000 pennies instead of $10 bill…I think daddy needed mommy’s blood pressure medicine while he watched that..
• The last thing I learned (and daddy says the most important) is that even though people are frustrating and forget their manners some times and maybe don’t have the same great fashion sense that I do, God loves them and shows them grace. The same grace he shows us.  Daddy says because of that, we should show it to them too..

After Wal-Mart, we went to Toys R Us…now that is a store I like…maybe I will tell you about that later..bye bye..I have to go now..daddy says my diaper is dirty…
