Carson's Been Tagged

(Last summer at Lagoon)

10 Things About Carson:

1. Carson is your typical, energetic boy. He jumps off everything, his picnic table, the couch, his bed, the stairs, our big dirt piles behind our house, the list goes on.

2. Carson is obsessed with the washing machine. He loves laundry day. I think this all came about when we were living with Tim's Mom while our home was being built and her washing machine would stay open for the entire cycle. Ours will stop if the lid is open when it comes to the spin cycle. He'll talk about the agitator, the rinse cycle, the spin cycle, etc.

3. Carson is curious on how things work. ie. washing machine, rides at Lagoon You can just see his little mind really contemplating these marvelous wonders.

4. He loves to read. Every night before we go to bed we read about 5-10 books, more if I let him. He'll keep saying, "One more book or Last book!"

5. He loves to play with kids and will cry whenever someone's over and has to go home.

6. He loves to play with his Daddy. Every morning he asks, "Daddy coming home?" If it's a night where Tim has class and I say he's not coming home tonight, he'll cry. :( I'd get sick of being around me all the time too.

7. He loves the Temple. When we were living with Tim's Mom, we were only a few minutes away from the Bountiful Temple. Carson and I took many walks and drives by the temple during those 5 months.

8. He loves the songs, "I am a Child of God" and " I Love to See the Temple". If he's fussy in the car or at home, those songs seem to make him feel better. Just the other night I was singing "I am a Child of God" to him and he started singing along. It just melted my heart.

9. He's Mr. Independent these days. Whenever I try to help him with something, he'll yell, "Self!"

10. He loves to paint. I let him help me paint our half bath last week and he just loved it. Most of the time though, he'll paint with his little water colors. One of his favorite things to paint is...you guessed it, the washing machine.

Tim and I are so grateful for our little boy and the energy and joy he brings into our home. We look forward to the future kids that we will one day have as well. Carson will now tag Baby Zachary, Jackson & Lexi, and Ayda (Now I know you'll do this tag Nika because it's all about Ayda, right?!).
