Carson

 My handsome second born is now six years old!  Carson is really starting to phase into another stage.  He is acting way more independent and wants to do things himself and will get very vocal if you try and do other wise with him. 

His special birthday dinner that he requested was spaghetti's, green beans and applesauce with apple juice to drink.  I did not particularly care for this dinner but he seemed to enjoy it. 

 I really do think that this is the first birthday cake I have ever attempted to make and unfortunately it looks like it too.  He was so sweet because I was telling him I would do better next time and he said it was great and he loved it.....that's all that matters then, right? 

I can't help feeling a little guilty that he gets robbed a bit for his birthday celebration.  I am kinda burned out on the whole "celebrating" when his birthday roles around.  I think we will have to have a special party for him when the weather gets nicer. 

A few tidbits on Carson
Carson is into playing the x-box a little more now.  He is kind of a tough kid to shop for because he doesn't play too much with toys and the ones that he does say he wants don't keep his attention for long.  He loves to boss Morgan around and have her play his games the way he makes the rules.  Its funny how he has had to put up with Cole bossing him around for so long now that he can finally exercise that dominion over someone else now, (Morgan) he is taking full opportunity of it. 

He is super easy to have get ready for school.  His schedule is every day from 12 to 3:30 but on every other Wednesdays he goes from 8-1:30 and on the other Wednesdays he doesn't go at all.  Confusing...yes I know. He looks forward to going all day...I hope that sticks. 

His favorite color is blue, his favorite toy right now is his MP3 player, and his favorite cartoon is Cars 2.  What makes him the most mad is when Cole messes with him but he loves to play with Cole even though it always ends in fights.  The love/hate relationship of brothers.

Carson is a lot like his daddy.  He will only take so much picking on before he really looses it.  When the boys get to wrestling and Cole finally pushes him hard enough Carson will whip out his "fists of fury" we call them.  It is just as it sounds, he will come at you with all that he has and his little fists are going crazy....they may be little but don't get in the way!

This little boy can have some really good melt downs, which typically occur when asked to clean a really dirty room.  He is the type that will tell you he will do it and then not, but when asked he will say he has.  When caught he will smile and come up with some bizarre off the wall thing what happened. 

One of the many great things about Carson is how considerate he is.  He notices the small and compliments.  He is easy to read when he is pleased and his smile will light the whole room.  I love him more than I could ever say.  He brings so much light, love and great insight into my life.  I love my little carsonator!
