He is very funny. The way he cuts his eyes, walks with a strut, and uses his hands when he talks resembles an adult. He definitely makes me wonder what is going on in his little mind. At times, I think it might be much deeper than we give him credit for.
He likes to be home, but isn't quite the homebody that Miles is. He LOVES to go to Walmart. If Darrin or I mention Walmart around him, he has to go with us. He is actually very well behaved while we are shopping. He likes to see everyone and even says hi.
He is very independent. He says "me do it" a hundred times a day. He also says "do momma?" a lot. The translation for that is "What are you doing momma?" When I tell him what I'm doing, he says, "Oh." This also makes him sound like an adult. He's funny like that.
He also loves to be outside and going to church. His behavior has been really bad lately and I wonder if some fresh air might help. I think he's a kid that needs adventure and sun and dirt to be satisfied.
He's our little junk food eater. He loves donuts, ice cream, cookies, and M&Ms. He also likes grapes, apples, yogurt, and cheese. Even though he's a stocky kid, he doesn't eat much. He tends to eat all his food at school and not much once he gets home.
Sleep is still his strength. Most nights, he goes to bed willingly and stays there until morning without a sound. His bed time is between 7:30-8:30 and he sleeps until around 7am. I am so thankful for a child that sleeps until 7. Miles used to wake up between 5-6am most days. It was brutal.
In some ways Carson is so easy. He sleeps well, doesn't mind running errands or leaving the house, happily goes to daycare every day, and doesn't mind staying with people at church or with babysitters. On the flip side, he is oh so challenging in other ways. He is so strong willed about what he wants. He has the worst temper when he doesn't get his way or when he gets in trouble. He flat refuses to say sorry and will even avoid eye contact at that point. He throws things, hits, kicks, bites, and screams with rage. He got in trouble tonight for putting paint in his mouth after being told not to. When the paint was taken away from him, he threw the paint lid across the room, tried to hit me, and then took a bowl with sauce in it and slid it across the island onto the floor splattering it everywhere. There's terrible twos and then there's this. He's always been good for other people, like family, babysitters, and daycare, but now he's starting to get in trouble a lot at daycare. Hopefully they are used to it and can help us get through this stage. Miles was challenging from 3-6. Here's hoping Carson is getting some of this out of his system now.
