Conversation with Colin

About a week ago I had this conversation with Colin.

C-Mommy you are beautiful. (sweet, I know. He tells me this all the time.)

Me-Oh thank you, you are such a gentleman.

C-NO I'M NOT!

Me- Colin, a gentleman is a good thing. Don't you want to be one?

C- No, I want to be a missionary.

I can't argue with that. I used to say,"If I have to have four boys then I want to raise four gentlemen." Now, Colin has taught me that even better than that would be to raise four missionaries. I couldn't pray or hope for anything better.

I love it. What a good kid! I was just thinking how I love having boys and thinking how hard it would be to raise a good girl these days but then I got thought how equally hard and important it is to raise a good boy that would hopefully choose to be a missionary. Your doing such an awesome job with those boys. I'll be calling for help I'm sure!!

Here's your comment. :) Colin is so adorable! Seth talks about him often, so we really do need to get them together on a playdate again.
