All Night!

Carter was up pretty late last night, just playing in his room and talking to himself. When he woke up this morning and come into our room, he was wearing UNDERWEAR! He said that he changed out of his pull-up and into his underwear before he fell asleep last night... which means he actually had his very first DRY night! Very cool! Getting bigger and more independent every day.

Questions

It seems as though we have accidentally hit the "questions" button on Carter... and I can't figure out how to turn it off!! Yeah, yeah... we know it is cute... but seriously! How many times can you be asked how old you are, whether you are right-handed or left-handed, or if you are older/younger than someone? While some strangers think it is cute, there are many who don't enjoy sharing these personal details with my inquisitive 4-year-old. Is it too young to teach him how to read someone's body language to determine whether or not they want him to talk to them? Hmmm... maybe!

Go to SLEEP!

My poor child is terribly sleep deprived... ridiculously cranky... and just not very nice to be around these days. Why? Well, other that just being 4... he's also in the process of giving up the treasured nap. Children don't seem to have quite the appreciation for mid-day siestas that they should. Personally, I would LOVE to take a nap everyday. Wish he'd agree!
