Hayden

After 18 months I though that monthly blog posts about Carson were silly, things slow down a little at that time, coming up with new things each month were getting a little hard. But I feel like I've missed so much stuff here on the ol'blog. Some things that can't be forgotten: -Carson has been calling his blankets "Mmmmmmmes" Jason figured out that when we snuggle we say mmmmmmmm. So he just adds a little s at the end. -He is VERY independent lately. Everything has to be done by him and it has to be his idea. Like he must climb into his carseat, and he has to ask for "Bunny Milk" (His name for his No Sugar Added Chocolate milk mix in,yup I'm that parent) I can't give to him. -He loves his Elmo Daddy and Elmo Abby. Don't judge. We use movies to put him to bed. Its what took over for Nursing at 19 months, when Mommy had, had enough! -He amazes me with what he knows. His colors for sure. He can point out Orange, anytime and anywhere. He loves Orange. Orange Choo-Choos were talked about for days after we saw them! He also knows Blue,Red and Purple most of the time. -He went potty in the potty and has taken interest in potty training! I won't push it until summer for sure. -He still loves trains and blocks. I could probably take away all the other toys and he won't care. He does loves his golf clubs and balls too. Daddy is happy about that one! -He can identify places and where were going often. Everytime we go past McDonald's he says Dada's Work. He knows Hay Hay's School and Mama's work too. He wants a kiss everytime we go past the high school! -He is a funny little guy. He knows what can make us laugh. One thing he does is rapidly looks around with his head and says "huh, huh, huh, huh" pretty cute! -One of my favorite things he does lately when playing with puzzles and blocks he'll say "This One............Noooooo". He also likes to take turns and always declares who's turn it is. "Mama's Turn" "Hay Hay's Turn" "Carson's Turn" This week both boys were sick and past on their lovely cold/virus to Nana, Papa, and Smith. Some how Jason and I avoided it, so far. But Hayden actually missed a day of school, which is crazy that boy is never sick. They had fevers for a few days, runny noses, lots and lots of coughing, sore ears, goopy eyes and scratchy throats. And they were CRABBY! Carson is a bear, Hayden actually did pretty good and probably should have stayed home more days but he was the leader and duty called. There was no talking him into staying home, the kid loves school. Hayden amazes me with reading lately. He can pick up a book and read many of the words and has a set of books he can read all the way through. He has all of his sight words down pat. He is also Mr. Social Butterfly. Next Saturday he has 2 birthday parties, and soccer. Today he had another party. All the kids always come running up to him to say Hi. He can light up a room, I tell you! I am looking forward to the summer when we can spend lots of time together. Summer is quickly approaching thank goodness!
