Collin turned 6 on September 15th. He is our shy child and thus most people think he is a perfectly behaved child. He has such adorable brown "puppy dog" eyes that people find so hard to resist. He sits quietly in class and doesn't cause disruptions. He doesn't talk out of turn and pester the child next to him when he is bored. He likes to blend in the background. At home and around those that he is comfortable with, it is a whole other story. He is quite witty and has good comedic timing to throw his little comments in. He is good at finding people's buttons (especially his sister's) and loves to push them. He is my little jumping bean. He loves to jump down the stair and see how many stair he can "fly" over. He loves legos, coloring, papercrafts, Phineas and Ferb, and Star Wars the Clone Wars.

Collin and Lexie have a hot and cold relationship, they are either best friends or worst enemies. Lexie picked out her present to Collin herself and couldn't wait to give it to him. He was very excited.

David recently read
Where the Red Fern Grows to the boys at bed time. Collin loves dogs so he absolutely loved that book. I happened to see these faux coon skin hats and couldn't resist getting them for the boys.

Collin loves to take pictures and stick pictures to his bed. In the past, I have gotten the boys disposable cameras as stocking stuffers for Christmas. He was so excited to get a 'real' camera that he can see his pictures immediately and print them out. His favorite thing to take pictures of--his toys.

Before his birthday, David was giving Collin ideas for his birthday cake. I sat there listening and wishing for a roll of duct tape to shut David's mouth. None of the ideas they were discussing were simple cake ideas. Collin ended up wanting a Phineas and Ferb cake. I tried to do a piping gel transfer and it did not work, so I had to draw it by hand, and I am not an artist. The cake in my head looked much better, but Collin could recognize what it was so I suppose that is all that matters.

He looks so nonchalant with his chin on his hands, but he couldn't even wait until I had the camera in my hands to blow out the candles. It was a great day for this little man!
