Carter - 2 1/2 years old

Carter is now 2 1/2 and is such a funny and loving little boy. I wanted to remember a few things about him at this age, so here goes:

1. sleeps with Mommy every night (except the nights that she works, then it is Daddy's turn)
-If Mommy goes to another bed, Carter follows her all night long
- sleeps right up next to Mommy, no space in between
2. not interested in potty training but hates taking the time to have his diaper changed
-when he does use the potty, he climbs up and crouches down, facing the back of the toilet
3. knows all of the alphabet, can count to 15, knows shapes and most colors
4. loves sweet tea and when he gets up in the morning, he will say to Shawn "want some teaf" (how he says tea)
5. loves when his Daddy comes home and has to be picked up and hugged right away
6. loves sharing "pockcorn" with his Daddy
7. goes to preschool on Tuesday and Thursday's
8. entertains himself and loves to play with trains or cars
9. when practicing the letters of the alphabet, he will not say the word "letter" but instead says number B
10. is a very picky eater but will eat any kind of junk food ex. honey buns, cupcakes, doritos, cheetos, french fries, fruit snacks
11. loves his brother Bryce but will also fight with him and does not back down in the fight
-Carter usually has to be pulled off of Bryce (when he was a baby, we were worried about how he would defend himself against Bryce :)

He is just growing too fast and I wish that I could slow it down and keep him little for a while longer.

I love you Carter!!

Carter's 1st Movie @ AMC theaters

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS 2: THE SQUEAKQUEL


For Bryce's birthday, we took the boys to the movies to see The Squeakquel. This was Carter's first time to go to the theater to see a movie. We did not have a babysitter and since it was a kids movie, we decided to take him with us. The movie was about an hour and a half and he did really good for the first hour. He sat in my lap, ate popcorn and watched the movie. After the first hour, he was walking in the aisle and changing seats. He was quite though, so it wasn't too bad. The boys really liked the movie and now every time we drive by the AMC theater, Carter says "Chipmunks".
