Carson gives us the best smiles...when he's in the mood! He can tend to be our moodiest child especially when he doesn't get the proper amount of sleep or when he's not allowed to have his pacifier. But when he's happy, he's happy.
He's learned to enjoy some of Madison's favorite TV programs, like Dora, and now likes it so much that it's his first choice. Here's a picture of him enjoying a little TV with Grandpa.
He's at that age where he wants to do everything Madison does. Coloring is a fun activity for him although watercoloring is a little more messy! I have them both in a 7 week art class and well, we'll just say that's been interesting! Carson learned quickly that the messier he got, the more often he got to wash his hands....more interested in the soap and water than the crafts!
We try to discourage him from putting on Madison's dress up clothes but occasionally he'll still find her pink ball cap lying around and slip it on....well at least he looks a little masculine with it on backwards.
He also has entered into the world of pretend with Madison's assistance. Most of the time he is a willing participant as she plans crazy adventures to save animals in trouble. He's also good at helping her make blockades to keep Jason out (poor guy). Here they are enjoying their space after moving toys into a circle to hopefully block Jason out....however, it typically doesn't work....Jason is just too smart for his own good.
On very few occasions Carson has helped out in the kitchen. Here we are making some muffins.
Carson's vocabulary continues to expand. I expect that he'll have that verbal explosion around 2 1/2...the age Madison was when her vocabulary took off. He's very polite and says thank you and you're welcome. He knows all of his body parts. He sits on the potty every once in awhile but is usually not successful. I'm just glad he's not opposed to it. This summer we plan on beginning the real work of potty training. What fun! We also plan on moving him to the toddler bed this summer as he as mastered the art of climbing out of his crib. He's actually pretty good about staying in his bed but only on a few occasions has he climbed out in disobedience.
