Still into hats, red ones especially.


Big fan of chocolate.

When asked today in church what his favorite thing to do was, Malcolm, without hesitation, answered, "Challenge my dad".


 I'm not entirely sure what all is involved with the actual "challenging", but I do know that this little boy tells his dad each night, with a very serious face, that he needs to challenge him.  They then proceed to the basement.

"Well, I DID count my chickens... and they all hatched."
