One of Colin's favorite things to listen to in the car is a Veggie Tales story. In particular, his favorite is The Ballad of Little Joe -- a western Bible story that tells the story of Joseph when he was sold into slavery by his brothers but ended up saving them many years later during the famine.
We were listening to this particular story in the car yesterday and he now laughs at some of the funny parts, and shows concern when it makes mysterious, scary sounds. I can see his little mind processing all that it is hearing.
We paused the story to run into a consignment store, where I was on the hunt for a Fisher Price barn (we have the animals and not the barn...) When I was quickly successful in locating the barn, I made a quick stroll to the clothing section and we found something really cool: Colin's first pair of cowboy boots!
"Do you want to look like Little Joe, Colin? He wears cowboy boots, you know. And your Grandaddy wears cowboy boots, too." And with that said, I got a huge smile and he grabbed the boots into his arms and that was that.
Colin is now all "dude-ed up" for our trip in a few weeks down to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Every little boy with Texan heritage needs his very own pair of cowboy boots!
