Audibly Active

I was getting the boys ready for lunch and I noticed Carter was hiding out in my room for a few minutes, silent. Of course my mom radar noticed it. I shouted, "Carter, what are you doing?"

His reply, "I'm getting into something". Caught.

We're working on being polite. He often says thank you and hello when adults address him, but in shy manner to where they often don't hear him. I still have to remind him to say it so that they can hear him. Yesterday we were in Trader Joe's and the cashier asks, "would you like some stickers". He *yells*, "YES, CARTER WOULD LIKE SOME STICKERS PLEASE". Then, I remind him to say thank you, again, he yells "THANK YOU FOR THE STICKERS, LADY". Eek.

Carter has been super emotional and on edge the last week or so. Not himself. Kind of scaring me that this is the new "him" or something. Of course, usually when he has abnormal behavior, we find that a tooth has popped through. Ever since his first tooth, he has not been an easy teether (unlike our Easy E!).

Sure enough, I'm brushing his teeth and discover his two two-yr-molars have poked through. Aha! That explains everything! I am proud to announce that Carter is officially done teething and now has a full set of pearly whites.
