This month's posts will be a series since I have a growing volume of "Coleisms" to share. Cole has been quite prolific in creating these (oblivious to the fact that his mom is documenting them) since all he does of late is talk, talk, and talk some more.

Cole is constantly cracking us up with his witty and creative banter. He will be chatting your ear off about super heroes and then mid-stream change subjects but he does it so seamlessly that it takes you a minute to realize he is now talking about something entirely different. When you question him to confirm that he is now speaking about X, he tosses you a look that says "duh, yes, I'm talking about cheetahs, weren't you listening!"

He absorbs everything he sees on TV shows, hears about from books and learns at school. While driving in the car, he routinely blurts out facts like "mom, did you know that a race car has a tighter suspension than your Explorer?" and asks very advanced thinking type questions like "mom, so dinosaurs roamed all over the world, do you think they were ever in our backyard?"

I am thoroughly enjoying this phase as my kiddo lets his mind wander all over soaking up everyday AND obscure knowledge, I'm learning (or re-learning) a thing or two along the way! :-)
