Carter

Carter is stuck between wanting to be Mommy's baby and wanting to be a big kid! He stopped letting me hug him when I pick him up from school, however whenever we walk into an unfamiliar place, he grabs my hand for support. When he gets really tired he'll cuddle with us but if his brothers are home, he's bound and determined to do whatever they do! He's conveniently too little when it's time to clean his room and too big when it's time to be tucked into bed. Carter started Pre-K last fall. He is 4, turning 5 in July. He gets to attend the same school as the other kids so he thinks he's hot stuff. He just started bringing home reading books that he has to read every night like his brothers and sister. He gets to spend the afternoons along with Mom. I have to say that he is very helpful around the house. He loves to spray cleaner and wipe things down. He used to love to vacuum till he sucked up one of his toys. It was very traumatic. Carter is stubborn and strong willed (gee... wonder where he gets that from.) But all he has to do is look at us with those huge blue eyes with his ridiculously long lashes and we melt. No wonder he's spoiled!! He is very excited to turn 5 so he can start Karate and play baseball.
