Carson's 2 year update!

So. . I know, I know. . I'm only like 3 months behind on Carson's 2 year update! Better late than never, right?!?!  My little man is so darn smart and he surprises us daily of how much he knows!

Carson. . 2 Years Old. . .

LOVES LOVES LOVES to read books and can recite books back to you after reading them a few times

Sleeps in a toddler bed—nightly routine is reading books and singing songs with a sippy cup of milk

Sleeping pattern—is now capable of getting out of bed in the middle of the night and walking into Mommy and Daddy’s room—if he does, we take him back to bed

He is usually up between 6:00-6:30 in morning and then will fall back asleep in Mommy and Daddy’s bed until 7:30 or 8:00.

Counts to 10 perfectly

Knows all of his colors and the basic shapes

Goes potty in big boy potty (still in diapers but does go if you ask him)—not poop though

He will go into another room to poop or if you are by him he will get very defensive saying things like ‘no mommy, I don’t like that’ or ‘don’t do that’ if you call him out on it!

Very independent

Loves to give hugs, kisses, and cuddles

Never ever stops talking-vocabulary is incredible and can carry on a conversation with anyone. 

Says things that you just can’t make up!  He makes us laugh each and every day! 

Get’s SO excited over the smallest things and will clap and say ‘YAY’ or jump up and down

Says please and thank you faithfully

Reminds Mommy and Daddy to pray before every meal and if we aren’t quite ready, he will go ahead and pray by himself

Loves to do ‘work’ with daddy—gets out his hammer, hat, pencil in the ear and loves to pretend to fix something or work on something!

Loves to play ‘coach’

Is obsessed with any kind of ball!

Is starting to find an excuse after getting put to bed (potty, he peed his pants, he lost his blankie, he’s thirsty)

Was into the movie ELF over Christmas!

So gentle to his brother—loves to hug and kiss him. . . and hold him and take pictures
