Such a big boy!

Colton has been doing things lately that are making me realize more and more that he is getting to be such a big boy now. I still can't believe he will be 5 in Feb. It can't be not my baby!!! He got a bible for Christmas. We went and let him pick what he wanted so that he would be happy with it and want to carry it. He can't read but we thought it would be good for him to get into the habit of carrying it with him to church. He wants us to read it to him every night before bed now which is so sweet. He was also using it as a song book last night at church, singing his little heart out. Last night Scott was reading to him about Paul and grace and he was asking what words meant and really listening. Scott explained grace like when he gets a second chance from us before getting in trouble. Cotlon said like Jonah and proceeded to tell the entire story of Jonah word for word. We were so proud of him, it brought tears to my eyes. These little moments in the times when you don't even think they are listening or learning but they are. Little ears soak up everything. I just wanted to brag on my boy who is getting so big and learning so much and his Daddy who is so great about explaining things and telling them the way he needs to hear them.
