Colton is finding his way.





























As a mother it is so exciting to see Colton picking up so many different things and doing so well with them all. He is a gifted learner when he wants to be. If he is interested, he can pick something up and take off with it in no time. He did it with his bike. He decided one day he was ready. There was no pushing him before, but once he was ready, he learned how to ride almost immediately. It has been the same way with his dirt bike. Brad really didn't think he could hold the dirt bike up by himself once he fell and he proved us wrong. I love the fact that he picks up things so fast, but as a mom, I am scared to death when he comes across something that gives him a challenge. It will be good for him and make him grow as a person, but I still dread the day. All that said, he has mentioned several times he is ready to take on guitar lessons. He loves to play the guitar for fun, but I don't know how a 5 yr old will do with having to actually practice and not just play around. He loves music and guitars, singing, drums, etc. If he does pick this up, he'll follow in Paw's footsteps (Brad's dad). Tonight he went down and listened to his band play and sang along from the side. It's so fun to see him enjoy so many things. I just wish I could relax and let him be. This is the part I need to work on and just let go and let him fall if need be. Just venting a little. Here's some pictures from earlier today with his guitar.
