Colton has a full blown obsession with tools and anything that has to do with them. Even the clothes that he wears are full of tools. The first thing he does in the morning is get his tools and goes straight to his tool bench. He eats with his tools. When it is time to go to the daycare's house he packs them in a plastic bag. He prefers an electric drill the best. He has two, actually three. His Beepa Matson(grandpa) got him a new saw of some sort. Then his other Beepa and grandma got him a nail gun and some other odds and end tools for Easter. We had to hide the nail gun this morning because he has to be very quiet in the morning when he goes to daycare - whole other story. We didn't think it would be good to send the nail gun with him shouting, "Die, die, die" You may say to yourself, a three year old saying this is rather disturbing, and while it is, we couldn't figure out where he picked that up. The kid can hardly talk so at first we thought he couldn't be saying that, but he is. Yesterday Raegan filled me in on where he got it. Oh yes, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." OOPS. I guess he won't be watching that anymore. He really does imitate TV, so there is definitely truth to the fact that TV can influence kids. Chris and I both decided that we need to be more vigilant about what we let the kids watch. Sorry kids, no more Spongebob. Colton even ends his night with his tools. He sleeps with them like most children would sleep with a stuffed animal. He is surrounded by them. Very cute. If he continues this fad, he will be more handy than his dad. He can manipulate a screwdriver with one hand turning it like a professional. What talent. He is a neat kid........
