This little boy is FULL of energy, and no one will argue that if they have spent even a couple minutes around him. :) I realized that I haven't been writing down any of his silly little quirks, and I don't want to forget them, so I'm going to do my best to write them down as they happen.
Lately Brandin and I have discovered that Carter can do math in his head, but struggles if he has to try and do it visually. For example, if we ask him what is 2+3? He will think for a sec and then answer 5. There are some games on my phone where he has to take 3 balls and 2 balls and put them together, and he struggles a little getting the right answer. It's like the ball counting is slowing him down.
So I am kind of a clean freak, not so much that I let it rule my life, but enough that the only way I feel like relaxing is when the house is clean, if that makes any sense. Well I'm pretty sure that I am raising my son to be the exact same way. He can't handle his hands/face being dirty, he (usually) does a really good job of cleaning his room, and not just picking up his toys, but putting them in the correct spot as well. Bishop gave him a sucker after church, and Carter decided that he didn't want to eat it all at that moment. So instead of being like any other 4 yr old and throwing it down wherever he was and going on with life, he goes to to kitchen, gets a ziploc baggie, and puts his sucker in it to keep the germs off so he can have it for later. Brandin just looked at me, shook his head, and said, what have you done to my son? lol
Lately his best friend is his stuffed puppy that he loves more than anyone/thing else. His imagination goes crazy with this little animal, even to the point that they get into fights and I have to put puppy in timeout because he said something mean to Carter. ha ha. Carter forgot puppy in the car tonight, and was frantic to get back out and get him because puppy was so cold and lonely in the car.
I think I already wrote about this one months ago, but I can't remember, so you might be reading this twice :) Brandin asked Carter what he wanted to be, and Carter immediately responded, "a Doctor" Why? Because he wants to make sick people well. This has been the only response we get when we ask him, and it's been going on for over 6 months now.
So tonight when it was getting close to Carter's bedtime, he freaked out a threw a temper tantrum. My prego hormones cant handle that and I sent him to his room. He cried and cried, and eventually called from hims room, " I have to read scriptures and pray before I go to bed, Jesus will be really sad if I don't" How do you respond to that. Brandin just looked and me and said, well, he's got a point, and we laughed and did scriptures and prayer with him.
Carter was playing in his room the other day and Brandin and I were listening to him. He has a couple minion toys, and we overheard him saying that one of the minions was sick, so Jesus Minion came to help. :)
