• Even more Carsonisms

    OK, seriously, my son cracks me up. I can’t even remember all the funny things he says. I’m loving this part of 3 years old. Lots of talking and conversation all day.

  • Sneak Peek

    OK, obviously my recipe post bored you all, judging by the ONE comment. (Yes, I tend to judge my posts by how many comments I get.) So, here’s one that should please you more. Here are some very recent pics of my sweet Syd. She is growing so fast, and I fall more in love […]

    My mom is an elementary school teacher, and my dad is an education professor, so they’ve helped me notice nuances of Carson’s language aquisition and how fascinating it really is. And also, sometimes it’s just kind of funny. 🙂For instance, yesterday we were playing in the living room with Cootie, a new birthday game from […]

  • Another Carsonism

    Me: Why don’t you try that again, and talk to me like a nice person.Carson: I’m NOT A PERSON! I’m a BIG BOY!**This morning I realized I too easily get sucked into trying to rationalize with a 3 year old. This is the conversation on the way to Bible study this morning: C: AAAA! Waaaa! […]
