Three years ago to the day we were dealing with tears when my child learned that soccer shots gave EVERYONE a participation medal!
That should have been a clue about what was to come. 😂
The boy LOVES to win, he is without a doubt the hardest worker I know. Things (especially sports) do NOT come easy for him but he works so hard. 💪
From the moment he was born we knew he was going to be a fighter. Prior to his birth, doctors had many concerns, and there was a time when we didn’t know if he would be born alive. We are so thankful for our outcome. We appreciate every second we have with him. Even the moments when I think his he strong will may kill me. 😂
Conversations with Colton have definitely evolved over the years. Our chats have always been a blast but the older he gets the wiser and funnier he becomes.
These days we are dealing with a bit of aggressive behavior on the ice around getting the puck at all costs.
It’s shocking to us because he is STILL a tiny little peanut. 💙 But OH that personality hasn’t changed at ALL!!! So really his behavior should be NO surprise! Right?
Last Monday Night between hockey games the rink offered a voluntary chapel. Colton happily went and volunteered to pray at the end. 🙏 It went a little something like this:
“Dear Lord-please help us to stay safe on the ice tonight. Thank you for letting us play this fun sport. 🏒 Thank you for not letting me accidentally trip anyone with my stick during the first game. 😂 Help us not to push our friends during game 2, unless of course they push us first and we retaliate in self defense, because I have to believe you would be ok with that. Go Team and Amen.”
Parenting is HARD WORK! Pray for me friends!!!
