Colton The Great

Colton has one great magic trick called, “The Disappearing Act”.  Whenever you take your eyes off of him for just a split second, he quietly disappears.  He’s there, then without a trace or sound, he’s gone.  He doesn’t make any noises or sounds since he is non-verbal, which makes him incredibly hard to track.  That is exactly what happened today at church.  We arrived our usual 15 minutes late and while waiting for the doors to the chapel to open, Justin turned his attention away for just a second and Poof!  Colton vanished!  Where had he gone?  After looking in numerous classrooms, the bathroom, and up and down hallways, he was no where to be found!  Colton decided to wander  into the chapel and up onto the stand where the Priests were serving the Sacrament bread.  He has a knack for finding food.  Especially food he is allergic to.  And can’t have.  Luckily, one of the priests picked him up, sat him on his lap, and a neighbor brought him out.  Mind you, we were still looking for him in all the nooks and crannies around us.  Another story of “Colton the Great” keeping us on our toes. 

I missed most of the excitement.  I had to run Matti back home because she had worn her Nike sandals to church with her pretty dress and I didn’t notice until we got there, so she had to go home and change.   Good thing we don’t live miles and miles away.  There’s never a dull moment in our household.
