Ok, this is an understatement! Carsen is growing like a weed every day, and his vocabulary is expanding exponentially.....now including such phrases as, "don't look at me", "leave me alone", "no kisses for you", and the ever-popular, "whatcha doin' mommy/daddy" every ten seconds. Don't get me wrong, at times, he's an absolute delight and provides more fun and entertainment to Kevin and I than we've had in years, but he is certainly giving us a run for our money. I cannot believe the stubbornness of this kid, and his drive towards independence. He'll actually take his shoes off after I've put them on, untie them, then put them back on himself, just to know he's done it. We ponder on how we've managed to create such a fiercely independent and stubborn creature....hmmmm, I wonder!!!
Carsen is loving 'school' (daycare) and loves all the neighborhood kids, who all happen to be little girls! He's such a charmer, and can be so very polite and sweet when he wants to be. We took the kids downtown for Thanksgiving, and Carsen was amazed with the 'Big City', and mostly loved all the firetrucks, ambulances, and homeless people playing drums on buckets. He thought the lights, hotel, and big buildings were ok, but it was really the destitutes of Chicago that caught his eye. Go figure.
We're looking forward to Christmas with him this year, as he's really keen to what's going on. He knows Santa is going to come and bring him toys, but hasn't figured out yet that he needs to be a GOOD boy!! We love watching him grow into a little person and we're touched at his gentleness and caring towards Kendall. He now runs into her room in the mornings, shouting 'good morning baby', or 'hello sweetie'. When he talks to her, his voice is so gentle. He helps her up when she falls over, and even gives her toys. Even though at times he can be such an angel with her, he'll push her over, put a blanket over her face, or sit on her two seconds later. The silly thing is he always tattles on himself, admitting he made her cry!
It'll be a very interesting dynamic once baby #3 joins the family!! Happy holidays and kisses to all!
