Carson turns 4!

Carson has been literally counting down the days until his birthday since Christmas. He LOVES birthdays, and gets really excited to sing happy birthday to anyone. On his birthday, he asked me if it was ok to sing to himself.

The night before I strung a sign, streamers, balloons and pom-poms to decorate the downstairs. And Jordan went to Krispy Kreme to get him his favorite donuts for his birthday breakfast. He was so cute in the morning. When we went downstairs after waking up, he saw all the decorations and said, "Is this all for me? Oh thank you Mommy, thank you, thank you!" It was the cutest and most sincere thing ever!

Carson and his best bud Julia.
I think they are a match made in heaven. They are so funny and cute together. She's extremely shy and hardly says a word to anyone outside her family, but boy she'll have these quiet little conversations with Carson in the back seat during carpool until I ask her a question, then she goes mute with that cute little smile, head tilt and giggle. We're going to miss sweet Juju when she moves this summer.

After breakfast, we went to the store and picked out sugar cookies to take to his preschool class. He was so excited he got to pick a new toy from the birthday treasure box. After school, Trisha picked him up to go on a birthday date to pick out his present and play at the McDonalds' playplace. When Jordan got home from work, he picked Chili's for dinner. He was so excited that they sang to him so loud. Although, it was pretty funny he didn't want the ice cream, so I indulged for him :) Afterwards, we invited over the family for ice cream cake and presents. This boy is beyond loved and spoiled.

I can't believe Carson is 4 already.
He loves basketball. And is a pretty good ball handler already.
He loves music and singing.
He enjoys preschool and learning to write his name.
He's left handed.
He talks very eloquently for his age, in complete thoughts and sentences.
He loves to be part of (interrupt) every conversation and add his two cents.
He loves power rangers on Netflix, and watches way too much of it.
He enjoys rough housing, and forgets he can't tackle girls like he does boys.
He tolerates Brynlee. They have a brotherly-sister love-hate relationship.
He's becoming a little social butterfly and loves having friends.
He loves going to church, mainly primary and his awesome teacher Sister Waite.

Carson is a great little boy. He definitely has his demanding moments and meltdowns but for the most part, he's a genuinely easy going kid with the exception of some OCD quirks, haha. I can't imagine not having Carson in our lives and the joy he brings to our family.
