Mommathon

1. He has such a tender heart.

2. The way he gets into things. Right now it is Star Wars. Before that is was Rescue Heroes, then Thomas before that, before that it was Blues Clues and his first love was Sesame Street. There have been others, but those have been the big ones.

3. The way he absolutely will not do anything he doesn’t want to do if he thinks he might get hurt or if he is scared (like swim lessons). The part I love about it is when he finally overcomes it and he is so proud of himself.

4. He loves to cuddle.

5. His love of learning and how he can just pull facts seemingly out of the air, but really it was something he read in a book two years ago and something he just saw reminded him of it. Random.

6. His smile.

7. His obsession with wearing slippers to bed.

8. How much he loves his friends.

9. How responsible he can be. He knows what days he has PE and he has to wear his tennis shoes. He knows when his library books at school are due and he makes sure his homework gets done in time.

1. He always says he is sorry. The funny thing is he usually says it long after the incident has passed. He has to take his time and say it when he is ready. I love it that he does it this way because it totally catches you off guard and because it is so sincere when he says it.

2. The way he chews gum. It cracks me up.

3. The dimples…gotta love’em.

4. The way he treats his friends. He is so loving and kind to them. He loves to hold their hand, give them a hug or just put his arm around them. He has found a little girl in his class who is touchy like that, too, and they get along great!

5. The energy he puts into playing witch. It is a game where a witch is coming. We have to hide from the witch. Sometimes the witch is outside, sometimes she is chasing us…you never know where the witch will be, but Colm LOVES to play this game.

6. His chuckle and the smile that goes with it…contagious.

7. His love of art. He loves to paint, color, you name it. If it is artsy, he’ll do it.

8. How much he loves Sprite, vanilla wafers and chocolate. He loooooooves them and consumes them as often as allowed.

9. His current obsession with the various phases/shapes of the moon.
