Family Fuller

I just have to write a quick blog about Colin at the mall today. We were in the baby gap and they have a table with crayons/paper. Colin befriends this girl who I would say was about 8 years old. He is asking her to draw shapes for him, circle, diamond, etc…I heard him mention hexagon and the girl stared at him. So then he says “Draw a rectangle for me.” She repeats the word rectangle, pauses and looks up in the air obviously thinking “hum, rectangle, what does that look like again…” - so not the sharpest tool in the shed. After a few seconds she decides to draw a heart instead. Colin looks at her, with disbelief, and says “No, that’s not a rectangle, thats a heart.” He keeps staring at her, obviously wondering what is going on and why she doesn’t know what a rectangle is and then decides he is finished asking for more shapes.

Immediately after that in the next children’s store, while I was trying to pay he began to throw all the folded clothes off the table onto the floor and got his friend Sierra to start doing the same…
