The Zoo

Well yesterday we ventured out to the zoo and it was HOT!!!! Carter loved it. He loved getting out and seeing so many people and so many weird animals. Before we left I had packed the car with our bag and snacks and came back to get him realizing that I couldn't find my keys. I just had them where could they have gone????? So I was frantically looking through the house tearing apart drawers and everything thinking that maybe I lost my mind and always misplace things. Carter just stood by the door watching me frantically running around. When I saw him waiting on me I told him that we had to find the keys if we wanted to go. Carter repeats "keys, keys" closes the door and behind the door we have a little hole (that we've tried to patch over but Carter always opens it back up) and there inside this little hole were the keys sticking out. I started laughing so hard! In his little mind he's probably thinking geese mom if you would've asked me in the first place. So we got on our way.
Another quick story about Carter........well I think we've utterly confused our poor little boy. He has started to really call my tummy the baby and give the baby kisses and every day he has to lift my shirt up to say "hi baby"! He's actually become quite possesive of the "baby" (my tummy)! NO ONE can touch my stomach. Over the weekend my nieces wanted to feel the baby and were holding their hands all over my tummy to catch any movement and when Carter caught glimpse of that he ran so fast yelling "NO, NO" taking their hands away and climbing up to put his whole body on my stomach so they couldn't even touch it a little bit. So I've been thinking wow he really understands. What a smart kid I have and yesterday when I was changing his diaper. He lifted up his shirt pointing to his belly saying "baby". I tried to explain mommy has a baby but he just has a belly. Then I saw the confusion on his face. Oh well, he'll really be confused when the baby is out and my tummy goes back to being called tummy or belly
