It has been a very full two months! Carter started Kindergarten, and with soccer, church activities and Cru events, we have been ON. THE. GO. We are still trying to find a good rhythm but in the chaos, we've also had some fun:)
Playdate at the Muizelaars with Taylor and Rianna's bracelets
"Hey Mom, do you want to play the MOST FUN GAME EVER? Let's sort Legos by color!!"
We still have Legos out all over the living room floor most of the time. I have sort of embraced this reality. Carter loves to organize them and also comes up with the coolest creations.
I didn't even know that Carter knew who Rapunzel was!
Carter brought home a packet from school of different drawings that represent all the ways he can listen. This was my favorite:)
Carter has started to eat like a man. Pizza night-he eats three slices!
Tim took Carter on a date the other week and he chose to go to the rock climbing wall int he mall. Tim said he did a pretty good job!
I love watching Carter start to learn to read and write words. Here is his attempt at "I am hungry".
This terrified me! But I had to be calm and encouraging so I didn't freak him out:) I sure didn't want to climb up and get him!!
Carter's new favorite hobby is to draw Star Wars characters from his Star Wars encyclopedia.
Viking students get Pride Awards when they do something respectful, responsible or safe. Carter loves coming home with these!
We were working on writing before dinner one night. I asked Carter to write out three words to describe his day and then we sounded out the words. Food in. Food out. All boy!
Carter got to be the leader in his class one day and came home with this sheet. He was pretty excited!
On the 1st Wednesday of each month parents can come to Carter's school towards the end of the day to read with their kids. Tim got to go this month!
Showing off his dance moves at a parade. Totally unaware that I was filming him!
He is a beast on the monkey bars! Future American Ninja Warrior!
Carterisms from the past two months:
-While at the library I asked Carter if he need to go to the bathroom before we left. He yelled back to me across the library: "MOM, MY PE*IS IS ACTUALLY TELLING ME THAT I DON'T NEED TO GO POTTY!" So glad everybody heard that:)
-Carter's kindergarten class is fairly diverse for Grand Forks. When he describes classmates he says things like: "The guy with the peach face." Or, "The guy with the brown face."
-At Carter's 6 year physical he measured 3'10" and weighed 50 pounds landing in the 76th percentile.
-When we were getting ready to buy supplies for Kindergarten:
Carter: "When do I start school?"
Me: "In two weeks and I'm going to cry so hard."
Carter: "But Mom, I'll still eat breakfast and dinner with you every day. And think about it...you'll just do a park or craft with the brothers. Then it will be lunch and nap. And before you know it, it will be time for me to come home!"
-Carter: "Mom, what are you more into, Star Wars or girly stuff?"
Me: "What do you mean by girly stuff?"
Carter: "Like fairies and sparkly stuff."
Me: "Do I have to choose?"
-I pick you up from school almost everyday with your brothers. When you see us, you usually run and jump into my arms. I love it!
-You say that you don't really like school and that you really wish you could stay home with us every day. But you never complain about going and seem to really enjoy it. Especially guy, recess and lunch!
