New Star Wars Helmet

The little guy saved and saved his money, and bought this helmet yesterday. Even at bedtime, he didn't want to take it off.

This morning, prompted by watching a DVD made for kids about flying, the little dude put my old cadet shoulder boards on.

School's Out

As of last Wednesday, Carson is out of school. First grade is done. We spent this past weekend camping at a resort about an hour from us. Carson had his first night in a tent. We swam, cooked out, had s'mores and popcorn over a campfire, and told ghost stories. Here he is with a bunch of his Washington cousins.

A Carsonism

Last night when Carson was taking his bath, I was scrubbing him down and asked him to roll over. Here is the exchange that followed:

"Mom, I'm not in session!" Are you here, or just not available? "I'm not available."

Titanic in Tub

Carson is still obsessed with the Titanic. He builds it with various sizes of Legos, and boxes and toilet paper roll tubes and string. When he was in his bath last night, he took one of his current Titanics into the tub. I overheard him singing the theme song, "My Heart Will Go On". But he stopped singing before I could record it.

Another Carsonism

"I'm not your rodeo cow!!" Carson shouted, as his dad was trying to snare him with a hula hoop. Dad came home with 2 hula hoops the other week, and Carson has been using the heck out of them.
