Carson Update

- He is POTTY TRAINED!! We aren't quite there at night yet, but I don't mind.
- LOVES baseball. He will go out in the backyard and set up "bases" that he will run every time he gets a hit. It's pretty stinkin' cute. Every hit is a home run :).
- LOVES swimming. He has become quite brave and learned he can dunk his head under the water. I don't think he has ever tired of swimming, it's always been me pulling him out of the pool after and hour...sometimes two.
- Prefers to dress himself. Things usually don't match and his shirt is usually on backwards, but I am grateful for the independence.

STORY: So one morning at 4:30 am Dave wakes up to the hallway light. He gets up to see what was going on. Carson was not in his room....Dave shortly discovered that Carson had awakened. Gone potty, dressed himself, unlocked the house and left out the front door to go find some big construction trucks (our water lines were being replaced). After getting his fill, he had returned, gotten some milk, put on a movie, and was watching Enchanted on the couch. Um, yeah, I still don't know what to think.

- LOVES wearing shoes. He can't seem to go anywhere (inside included) without his socks and shoes on.
- Sings a ton and beautifully. He can sing songs off of our musical movies (High School Musical, Enchanted, Hairspray, etc.), he sings in the car, at church, for FHE, for Drake when he is upset, in bed, on the phone. The boy REALLY likes music.
- Weighs about 40 pounds.
- Likes to hold Drake and give him hugs.
- Says GREAT prayers.
- Hard to keep in bed. Getting him down for nap or at night is always a feat.
- Tells some awesome stories. Here is a good example, "Once upon a time, I had a big birthday party. And I played at the birthday party and had a big cake. And I shared my milk with my friend. The end!"
- Likes to tell jokes and make up words. One of his jokes is:
Carson - "Ow!"
Mommy - "What happened?"
Carson - "I bonked my Enchanted!"
Lots of laughing ensues
- Waddles when he runs...SOOOOO cute!!!
- He loves to take pictures. And he does a good job of capturing his subject.
- Likes his hair done.
- Went camping with daddy and he loved it.
- VERY social. Loves to play with friends. Can't get enough of nursery.
