Don't mind if I do...

Brag session:
Although Carter is what I would classify as compliant by nature, I have been overly impressed with his listening skills and obedience lately. Something just hit about two weeks ago where he literally does what he is asked--rarely is there a fight about it.

I have had friends and family comment on his obedience, but of course, I haven't neccesarily noticed just how well-behaved he is until I started tallying the orders given to him all day! I've been watching him the last few days and he just amazes me on his obedience and willingness to please.

I'm so gratefull for him, and although this could be just a "good streak", I'm enjoying every minute! It's music to my ears when I hear his little voice say, "Yes Mommy". What a champ.

Remembering "Silwee"

Carter is a little chatterbox these days, and although he can say almost anything, it's not the clearest it could be and lots of times you have to be Jason or I to understand his complete sentences.

That being said, I thought I would document some of his "flawed speech" because I know this stage won't last long...

L's sound like W's. Example:
Wake for Lake
Silwee for Silly
Wadder for Ladder

C's sound like T's. Exampe:
Tarter for Carter
Tool for Cool

Still doesn't get the whole pronoun thing.
"Mommy hold you" instead of "Mommy hold me"
"Carter's racket" instead of "My racket", and although that's not neccesarily incorrect, we don't want our pre-teen referring to himself in the third person!
