Carson is learning things so fast!
-He copies a lot of the things we say. Including, "Ah, man!" "Effff!" (which we are now not saying anymore), & "Wahoo!"
-We are really trying to teach him to listen. Something that is working right now is we tell him, "You need to listen and obey." Which he usually will turn around and look at me and say, "Oh-beh." (Obey) It's really cute.
-He is so active right now! Like more than usual. He's been taking extra long naps and sleeping a solid 12 hours at night. And he also started throwing these crazy tantrums. I don't know if he's growing or what, but his attitude has been insane the past couple of weeks!
-All he wants to do is play what he calls, "Vrahh, Vrahh." It's like peek-a-boo. It started out as that anyway. Except sometimes I would say "Rawr!" He likes to put a blanket over your head, rip it off, and yell, "Vrahh, Vrahh!" He recently came up with different version. He has a pop-up tunnel and wants you to scare him by popping your head in on one end. It's actually more elaborate than that. Let's just say it involves lots of blankets and stuffed animals. The point is, we are really bored of playing this non-stop!
-He loves to brush his teeth. Every morning while I'm getting ready, he stands on the toilet and asks for his toothbrush and toothpaste. He will brush his teeth for a few minutes but he freaks out if you try to help him.
-He recently learned how to ask for T.V. He calls it, "tee-tee." And he asks for it all day long! We have such a hard time saying no when he looks at us real sweet and says in the nicest voice, "Tee-tee. Peeeeees, Mama."(T.V. Please, momma) Since he has recently taken such a liking to T.V., he now has some favorite shows--Curious George, anything with Scout the Dog in it, Thomas the Train, and Chuck the Dump Truck.
-Cory loves to make him say "Treat." Carson calls it, "Teet." Cory laughs every time. It never gets old. Boys. I just roll my eyes. Speaking of which, any time Carson or Dada farts, it is apparently the funniest thing ever! They both bust up laughing.
-Carson loves playing with his friends. He gets really excited if I tell him someone is coming over. His favorite friend is Olivia. They are 3 months apart. But recently he has started beating up on her! He can get really mean! I don't know what to do. Time out was working, but not so much anymore. Ahhhh!
-Carson also has a cousin who is 5 months younger than him, Camille. For some reason, he will seek her out, and attack her! She could be in a different room and he will just dodge to her and start hitting her. Any time she gets anywhere near her, he pounces on her. She is so scared of him. We all laugh about it, but it is really sad too. What do I do with this?!?
-He knows just about every single one of his letters! This kid is really good at remembering--which he gets from his dad. He started counting recently so we have been working on that. His favorite numbers are 8, 2, 5, and 10. He can point those out anywhere! I think his absolute favorite number is 8 though, because he points that one out the most.
-We are still working on colors. Those are harder for him to learn. But he knows blue for sure! He calls it, "Boooo."
-A few weeks ago, on our way to Ohio, we were driving down the freeway when suddenly we hear Carson's sweet little voice come out. The voice he uses when he wants something. He said, "Fyes. Fyes, Dada?" Translation: "Fries. Fries, Dada?" He somehow knew that when we go on longer trips we get French Fries! So of course a few minutes later, we stopped to get him some fries. We couldn't resist that sweet little voice of his!
-Carson loves to dance. Which is really cute because he raises the roof.
-He also loves taking videos of himself and watching them back. He can do that for a long time. And selfies are his specialty.
