Carter @ 4

Carter has changed so much in the last year. He use to be a totally shy mommy's boy. He wouldn't leave Isaiah or my side. He wouldn't even go outside with Benjamin to play unless we went with him. Now, he is very adventures. Just a few weeks ago he decided to ride his bike to his friends house all by himself and without telling me, which gave me quite a scare.

He is very stubborn. If he decides he wants to do something, he doesn't ask permission, he just does it. Also if he decides something should be a certain way you can't change his mind. I was playing animals with him one day, and I decided to make the cow drive the tractor and that made him so upset because cows can't drive.

He is very tender hearted and will burst into tears if his feelings get hurt or things don't go his way. He also hates it when tears come out of his eyes, which makes him cry harder. Usually when he starts crying and says, "I can't stop, I need a hug." Once he gets his hug he is ok.

He use to believe you could only love one person, and his person was Dad. So, Dad could only love him and if he told Benjamin or me he loved us Carter would get so mad. After months of that, we finally convinced him you can love everyone.

Carter loves to play the computer and his v-smile. He is in to Pokemon and big equipment. His best friend is Benjamin. He still has a blankie he carries around. It was given to him when he was born by my friend Tina. When he decides he needs a nap, he will cover himself with his blanket from the top of his head to his toes and go to sleep. We call it his little cocoon.

Carter has really changed into a darlying little boy that is a joy to be around.
