Carter "reading"

I have been working with Carter on his pre-reading skills. I printed off these little books with site words and pictures and he loves to "read" them. To me the concept seems so basic, but I know it's a step in understanding reading! Plus he is soo proud of himself when he finishes!

Donuts and a basketball game

Carter and I went to see Colt play in his school basketball tournament yesterday. On the way there, I told him we would stop for donuts. He hadn't had donuts in a long time and was sooooo excited. He told me he wanted 4. I let him get 2 and told him he could have more after he finished those.

He chose this huge glazed twist donut and devoured the whole thing so quickly!

Then he ate his sprinkle donut, well just the top off! So funny!

Colt's team won the tournament and Colt did an awesome job! I was sooooo proud of him! After the game, Carter wanted to sit in front of the "C" on the bleachers!

Carter did not want a picture with Colt, so this is the best I got....plus I am using my old camera so the quality is not good!

Woody's Roundup!

Carter is OBSESSED with all of the Toy Story movies. He talks about them all the time and sings the songs constantly. Here's a little video of him singing "Woody's Round-up". It took a lot of bribing for him to let me video it, so this is not his best preformance....guess I need to tape him when he's not paying attention next time! Sorry it's sideways...........

(Soon to be) Big Brother first

Last night Carter and I were watching a movie and he felt Abby kick for the first time. When he felt it, he said, "her like me." It was so sweet!

A big imagination

Carter has really started to get into pretending. I love to hear him pretend all sorts of things. The other day he got this boo-boo on his hand. I am not even sure where he got it. Anyway, the other day at school he told his teacher that he got the boo-boo from a snake biting him, he said he then had to shoot the snake off. What a funy litle guy. You have to look REALLY closely to actually see the boo boo!
And just for fun, here are a few pictures from our little photo schoot I did the other morning. He got these pjs from Meemaw and Poppop for Christmas and I thought he looked so cute in them!

Carter writes his name!

I have been working with Carter here and there on writing his name. My goal was to have him writing his name by himself this summer, but he really didn't have any interest. We got through c and a and the was the extent of it. As of late I have decided that I really need to stop being lazy and make it a priority to do "school" work with him every day. His new rule is that he may not play his video game (Toy Story 3 which he is obsessed with) until he does his "homework." I have various activities I have been working on with him, which I plan to blog about later, but one thing I was determined to do was get him writing his name! I was so pleasantly surprised today when he wrote it so nicely today!

Let's go Mavs!

We met the Stewart family for our first Mavs game of the season. We actually got there early this time so we got to enjoy some of the pregame fun!

Carter and Colt shot some hoops!

Carter went on this thing sooooo many times! If you look closely, you can see he is making a basket in this picture!
