Favorite Foods: fruit!! – especially pears, watermelon, apples and raisins, “chocolate sandwiches” (Nutella), cheese hamburgers, chicken nuggets, cereal (especially Dad’s sugary cereals), juice, corn, cucumbers, red peppers, fruit snacks, granola bars, goldfish crackers, “square crackers” (Wheat Thins), cookies, and suckers!!! (Cole does eat some healthy food – this is just his preferred list) (We made caramel apples last week and cole ate for a few minutes, then asked me to take the caramel off so he could just have the apple. Apple on a stick? Who would have though that could be soooooo great?)
Favorite Toys: cars. Buzz, Woody, anything Brookie plays with, everything at friends’ houses, animals (elephant, bear, tiger, shark, scorpion, crocodile, etc), “buried treasure” (Cole loves playing with small toys and spoons in a bin full of beans or cornmeal), “shoot guns,” sticks, rocks, sand, etc., play food.
Biggest Fear: lately – going to bed!!!
Favorite Songs: If You’re Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands/ Click Your Claws, Wise Man and the Foolish Man, Head Shoulders…, Nephi’s Courage, Follow the Prophet, Do You Know What Traffic Lights Say to Do?
Favorite Non-Toy: blanket, binki, computer (he’s actually started to play a few little games and he’s really liking it!)
Things Cole Mimics: actions to songs, Brookie walking (sooooo funny)
Favorite Games: wrestling, chasing, catch, baseball (t-ball), playing WITH someone – like having Dad hold Woody and Cole hold Buzz. He likes to have conversations with the toys together with another person and sometimes he’ll even play both parts alone.
Soothers: binki and blankie – still
Favorite Place: outside!!, Grandmas and Grandpas houses, friends houses – anywhere new , Disneyland, park.
Mischievous things that he does: takes Brookie’s binki, gives his food away at meals, runs away (he’s getting better at listening and stopping), empties my drawers of my nightstand, empties cupboards in kitchen looking for snacks, climbs on top of tables and chairs to reach things he wants, goes potty just for the treats.
Least Favorite things: having to take a nap, taking time out of playing to eat or go potty or any other reason
Favorite People: Dad, Mom, Brookie, Grandpas and Grandmas, Uncles, Aunt Leanne, Addie, friends, anyone who will smile or talk to him. He’s a pretty friendly guy.
Proudest Moments: Anything he deems mischievous, making “projects” – he says “I maked that!”
Hair Color: blonde, just like Ty’s. It has a little brown and even a little red tone to it. We cut it really short and let it grow pretty long because he still doesn’t like haircuts.
Best Features: friendly smile, kind spirit (he is upset if anyone cries and thinks they need a tissue to wipe their tears, he apologizes when he makes someone sad and has a compassionate side to him that’s really cute for such a little guy), gorgeous eyes, hilarious personality! (just to name a few)
Sleep Schedule: 7 -8 at night ‘till around 7 in the morning. He naps from 1 or 2 ‘till between 3 and 5 in the afternoon.
How Cole recharges himself: Snacks are major (he’s such a guy!), his blanket and binki are still key players and sometimes he needs to have quiet time to :”watch a part a show” or read a book.
Cole, you make us laugh and help us remember what is important in life. Dad and I stay up at night and talk about the funny, cute and amazing things you say and do and how much we love you and are thankful for you. You are a special part of our family. We're so proud of how you share with and take care of your sister. You're a great big brother and Brookie loves you so much! Dad and Mom love you so much too! Keep learning and growing and doing good things!
