MAD GAB

Carter cracks us up. He tries to repeat everything he hears. The other day we were trying to teach him his name. When we broke up his name he could say it pretty good. It sounds pretty dang cute…“(1)Carr-(2)turr (3)Peet.” Then when we tell him to say “Carter” he says, “Darr-durrt”. Where the heck did the “T” sound come from? Sometimes, we can’t even make anything out of it when we make him say his whole name together. Two syllables are just too hard! The best part was...that night we really grilled him on his name...someone came over about an hour later and said, "oh, Carter..." To which he replied, "PEET" (Pitt)! I guess he just couldn't resist finishing it off for them.

I know all kids go through this stage where they just can’t pronounce anything right. So I thought we could have a little fun with it. Try to figure out the words before you look at the answer key at the bottom. Carter says exactly what is written…but if you say it really fast you might be able to understand what he is saying.

Chad has tons of baseball caps, wears them whenever he can and backwards most of the time. After we made Carter wear his baseball hat in the summer he went through a faze where he just wanted to wear Alexis’s soft pink hats! Oh the joys of having an older sister! Carter can be seen wearing it in the car and I’m sure people think he is a girl. But when it’s time to get him out…he knows he has to leave the pink crocheted hat behind. Recently, he decided he likes his red baseball cap again. Hallelujah! He’ll find it and scream, “Hat, hat!” And every time, without fail, he puts it on backwards. He then runs to Chad’s office to knock on the door and show him that he is just like his daddy. He wants that look of satisfaction from Chad every time he does it. If Chad isn’t in his office…Carter gets so sad. It cracks me up how serious he is about it!
