halloween!!

Today I was off and Carson and I went to the wiggly playcenter for some great fun! He got to wear his costume and was roaring all over the place! Carson has adapted well to school...he doesnt cry anymore when I drop him off...which is a step in the right direction! We took our christmas and halloween pictures at Jcpenneys last week and needless to say...it was VERY hard with Carson and Bruiser. How do people do it?!! Pou Pou and Grandpa are supposed to come in this weekend to spend it with Carson! We are very excited!

texas state fair!!! Its finally here

Cotton candy, turkey leg, corney dog, and lemonade!!! The state fair is finally here! Today we went to the state fair with our friends Amy, Marvin and Matthew. It was such a nice day although it got hot as the day progressed.

At the Midway...

We saw a dog show, the petting zoo and the farm. Carson really liked the little farm...he got to act like he was milking a cow, planting vegetables and feeding hens then collecting eggs. He was all about it, he had a apron and everything.

Life on the farm....

Carson making eye contact with the hen to distract from the fact he is taking eggs

He also played at the lego booth...he really enjoyed it a lot...I have a feeling he'll be wanting some for christmas!

By 2pm he was pooped and fell asleep in the stroller. What a great day it was!

first day of Montessori

SO, Carson went to his first day of Montessori... it was a BIG adjustment for not only him but for all of us. I teared up when I was leaving...carson was crying for me but I knew he would be ok. Chad said that when he was picking carson up at 11:30am he had just finished lunch and they were trying to put him to sleep...but Carson had OTHER plans...he was screaming his head off. I was so down all day today. Carson took his flu shot today...chad said that the nurse gave it to him in his leg and he didnt even make a noise. How brave is that!!! Carson is really starting to make a lot of sounds and speak in "babytalk". I have a feeling that he's going to be talking soon! I cant believe he is 18 months already...where does the time go? It seems like just a few months ago I was breastfeeding him and Now he is going to school??! He is so independent and fearless.... hopefully that will play to his favor!

disneyland!!!

So, we went to visit Trina in California and we went to Disneyland. Carson and Chad had a blast..it was hard to tell who of the two was having more fun. Carson rode all the rides, but his favorite one was the dumbo ride. He did really well while we were there with keeping with his schedule and he did OK on the plane ride although it was definitely a stressful ride for chad and I. Carson kept wanting to walk in front of our chair so he accidentally hit the chairs in front of us a few times...boy did we get some glares. Carson met Owen in california and they got along well,besides carson taking a BIG bite out of Owen's back. Poor guy!

We made it to Santa Barbara beach and farmers market. Carson got to play in the sand and ride the pony. He had a GREAT day! Carson is getting very independent and stubborn. He wont let us help him with anything and he is FEARLESS. The swine flu is going around pretty quickly...I have been washing Carson's hands all the time when we go out. Hopefully Carson wont catch it...but I am keeping my fingers crossed.
