In keeping with the tractor theme at our house, Carson got the tractor cake. He loved it, but was sad for a moment as we watched it fall apart when I tried to put the tractor on its pretzel rod "axels". Carson shouts, "my tractor broke!" But with some improvisation and a lot more frosting, we fixed it. Carson loves everything that has wheels and an engine. When we drive around town, he is in the back seat naming every machine and car we pass. This is what I hear: "That's a bulldozer, backhoe, blue truck, red car, cement truck" etc, etc. The other day I had to tell him what an auger does - he his making me keep up on my heavy equipment facts - it's important stuff!I really can't believe Carson is already three, but fully embrace it - hoping we are leaving the two's far, far behind! He is growing up in so many ways, yet wants to be the baby still. He is OBSESSED with our keys and he thinks he can drive our car. The other day he was furious because I wouldn't let him drive the car home from church. One day he told me: "I'm going to get your keys and drive the Tahoe far away from you!" Yes, I do a key check every hour to make sure they are still in their place.
We love our little intense, loving, and dramatic Carson!!
Happy 3rd Birthday!
