Happy Happy Birthday to Carason, we love him and can’t believe he is 4! We are still partying, he has his party with all the family on Sunday. Last week we took him to Chuck e Cheese with my Mom and Dad and played, luckily we picked the one week night where there was a school fundraiser going on so the place was packed. He still had a good time playing all the games.

Then Friday He had a party at the Karate Quest, where all his friends came and celebrated with him. He had a good time. He yells key yah!, every time he hits or kicks anything now cause that is what he learned. Thanks all who came and celebrated with him he is a lucky little guy to have such cute sweet friends.

Stay tuned for more photos after party number 3

Carson will be 4 in less than 2 weeks and I love him so much, he is the biggest cuddler I have ever met. His Ideal situation would be for his whole family to sleep in a twin bed cause he just like to be that close to us while sleeping. He has been coming into our bed in the middle of the night ever since we switched him to a toddler bed 2 years ago. I have a bad back and neck so this has been a problem cause I don’t get any sleep when he is laying on top of be and stoking my hair like I have a cat (which by the way is the reason I don’t have cats). He has been asking for a bunk bed for his birthday for a couple months. We got him one and he loves it he sleeps in on the top bunk all night and his little sister finally took her turn at the bottom last night and at 6 am I went into check on them and they were both asleep on the bottom. In a way I feel bad for the poor girl cause I think she really likes her space when she sleeps and now she has no choice Carson claimed to be too hot up top so he went down to the bottom but really I know he just wanted someone to snuggle up to.

On a separate note. Carson and I have been having some very interesting conversations and they have been a little bit challenging for me. Our wonderful neighbor and fiend is a firefighter. He volunteers every year in aug at a burn camp for kids. Him and his cute wife and little girl go to the camp and play with kids who have been burned badly by house fires or car fires or whatever. Well he made a video of the camp this last aug and he gave it to me to watch. I was watching it this morning when carson came over and stated to watch it (he made it to good music and carson was intrigued) Anyway the kids on the video have all been very badly burnt to the point that their faces are pretty deformed and some of the kids don’t have hands and so forth. Carson said “does he have a mask on?, that is scary”. I explained to him that he was in his house when his house caught on fire and he was burnt. He has been asking me questions all day. I don’t want him to be constantly scared and I am not sure how to answer some of his questions “mom will our house ever catch on fire?” I have taken the opportunity to explain to him that if it does we will all do our best to get out and we live right by a fireman who can help and we have fire alarms that will tell us when there is a fire but he is not quit satisfied with my answers cause he keeps bringing it up??

Then we were stopped by a police car today at an intersection and Carson looked over and read K9 on the car and asked me what that meant I told him it meant the police man had a trained dog with him and he asked me why he had a dog and I told him the dog can smell bad guys and drugs and helps the police man. He then asked me what drugs are and I tired to give him by best 4 year old explanation. He looked at me in the mirror and said “mom, I am never going to eat drugs”. I love this kid, he is so interested in what is going on around him and so wants to know what to do and how to be good and right. I was not prepared for some of his questions but I am so glad I get to talk to him and be the one to teach him things.
