Carson's 3rd Birthday!

I can't believe my baby boy is 3!!! Where has the time gone? It doesn't seem that long ago that we were anxiously awaiting his arrival and now he is a little boy! Since his birthday was on a Sunday we celebrated the day before. We had a pool party and invited lots of friends and family to join us. Unfortunatly, Carson didn't feel very good when it came time for his party. I asked him on the way to the pool if he was excited and he said, "No, but I'm getting that way." He said it so matter-of-factly that I couldn't help but laugh. He didn't want to swim and cried until we got him out of the water. Poor Carson! He just sat by the pizza and soda and was content to watch everyone else.

Since the kid loves Dinosaurs we had a Dinosaur cake for him. He was super excited about it and he loved it. He also got spoiled with lots of fun presents! He got more Legos and a new Lego table, elephants, snakes, trucks, a batman toy, dinosaurs, cars that go in the water, a new piggy bank with lots of change to put in it, and I'm sure there was more that I can't remember. He had a great day and we sure do love him so much!

A few fun things about Carson:

Carson is still in 24 month and 2T clothes. I have to fold the waistband over on all of his shorts and pants to keep them on.
Carson is incredibly observant. We can be driving down the road and he will point out buildings or stores that we have only been in once and tell me exactly what they are. He will also point out things in the distance that he notices as we drive. He knows where we are probably going depending on which way I turn out of the neighborhood and knows which stores are on which streets.
Carson loves Legos. He loves to build things and I love that it is something he and Jason can do together.
Carson is a little bit of a scaredy-cat. He doesn't like to get wet unless it is his own choice. He doesn't like to run through sprinklers, get sprayed in anyway, etc. He liked the fireworks as long as they were far away. He is my sweet little boy.
Carson is a cuddlebug. He needs lots of physical touch to feel loved. He likes to snuggle and cuddle, hold hands, and hug.
Carson loves Curious George! He could watch that show all day long. He has a Curious George shirt that is his favorite.
Carson likes to eat at Chick-Fil-A and every time we pass it he yells out, "Mom, there's the Chick-A-Way!!!"
