Trent was down tonight, and it was in watching him alone with Colton outside while I cooked dinner, that I realized how lucky I am to have Trent as my brother and how blessed Colton is to have Trent as his Godfather. Talk about over flowing love. Don't get me wrong, I've ALWAYS known Trent loves kids....and he's pretty great with other kids, but my heart melts when I watch him with Colton. (I get it, he's my kid, and so anyone gushing over him makes my heart melt, but I'm telling you, Trent adores him!!) As soon as he got here this evening, he walked right up to Colton gave him a high five, waited patiently for him to finish up his snack, and upon my prompting took him right out to play. I finished getting supper around but watched them swing, play in Uncle Trent's truck and blow bubbles on the patio. They get along great together, and by the time I had supper in the oven and came out to join them, Trent had already taught Colton to say "boooo" upon his prompt of "the Colts" -- because Trent has made it his life mission to make Colton a Bears fan like him, vs a Colt's fan like the rest of us.
I realize that I'm blessed to have a pretty awesome brother. I've always been kind of partial to Trent. I love how when he's trying to be all badass, I can make him smile, and that usually makes him made, which makes me revel in my victory even more than I was when he broke a smile. I love how he acts like he hates to be hugged. Most of all, I love how he loves my son, and I know we made the best decision by asking Trent to be his Godfather. Colton doesn't yet realize how lucky he is, but I do!
Trent - if you're reading this, I realize you're probably shaking your head, a little bit embarassed, but I hope that you know how much I love you, and how much Colton does too. Thanks for being a great Godfather!
This first picture is Trent teaching Colton -- "Booo Colts" Which is appropriate with his Bears jersey!
