Carson is a kid
now. It is weird getting used to. He is just getting taller and taller and more
and more skinny. I can’t believe I have a big boy. Carson is the epitome of a
boy. He likes to play hard and rough. He loves friends that will run and chase
with him and play super hero and pretend karate fighting. You can only imagine
how well he plays with little girls and kids who don’t like to play rough…Kids his age either think he is the funnest playmate or they
stay away.
His vocabulary is
growing every day. Vocab-wise he is right on target. Annunciation, not so much.
He is around an early two-year-old level with annunciation. So it’s a double
edged sward. He can say so much more, which means percentage wise we can
understand a lot less. We are very proud of him though. He has been improving a
lot. Friends of mine have made comments that they are able to understand him
much more. He does get frustrated, but for the most part he is pretty patient
with us trying to understand. He does a lot of mimicking and sound-effects to
help us out. =)
Unfortunately one
of his favorite things is T.V. and it is a constant struggle trying to limit
it. It helps that we are so busy and always seem to be out doing things. His
regular pre-school is out for the summer, but I have him in two 3-week sessions
at the community center with a few of his friends. He loves that.
Carson is a good
brother. He loves to have Luke around and loves to get him to laugh. We are
still working on reminding Carson (sometimes by the use of timeout) that he
can’t play too rough with Luke because he is so much smaller. Carson loves when
the WHOLE family goes places together. Swimming still tops his favorite things
list. He is quite amazing. He is a completely independent swimmer now. Jumping
off the diving board and swimming to the wall, etc. He can swim down to the
bottom of the shallow end and grab and toy. He is something else.
Life is full of
joy and excitement with a 3, going on 4, year old!
