Colby At A Glance

Since Colby just turned 5, I wanted to write some things down, mainly for memory sake.
At five years old he:

  • loves the color red
  • favorite number is 4, although I need to check with him on that since his favorite number changes every time his age does.
  • can't get enough of peanut butter and honey sandwiches
  • once said, when asked what he did on a certain day, "I watched a show, played a game, and then I got handsome." One of my favorite Colby quotes.
  • loves to color and create
  • calls a frisbee a "rice krispie"- he has recently corrected that. But, dang, it was cute!
  • remembers his Nana. Just yesterday he said, "I wish Nana was here." They have such a special bond.
  • loves treats, espcially chocolate! A man after my own heart.


  • loves to snuggle
  • is reading
  • doing simple math
  • absolutely loves his "workbooks" to practice letters, numbers, etc.
  • is obsessed with numbers. He knows how to read the calendar and will ask about certain dates and what is going on that day. He even makes his own calendars at the beginning of the month and then crosses of the days....here they are:


  • can use the telephone....dial up a number and call someone. I have to be careful there! Although it is always someone he knows.
  • can tell time
  • obsessed with freeway exit numbers
  • is starting to play the piano, because of Aunt Caytee's great lessons!
  • loves music and knows Duffy's "Mercy" song word for word. And sings it really well. Amazing and so entertaining!
  • loves to tease
  • loves to wrestle dad
  • at "Pro" status on Wii Bowling
  • likes "Tom & Jerry", "Scooby Doo", and "Phineas & Ferb"
  • the kindest, sweetest, sensitive, helpful, smartest, most handsome 5 year old I know who makes me smile every day!

This kid is sooo great. My girls adore Colby. They are always saying how stinkin' smart he is and what a good boy he is.

He did such a sweet job at singing today in the primary program (great job to you, too!!!) (and YEA, it's OVER!) He has such a lovely little boy singing voice and did such a great job at melting my heart!

What a kid! He is going to be such an amazing example to his brothers and to his little buddies all around him!
