Have you ever tried to explain Memorial Day to a preschooler? Mason wanted to know why the mail didn't come today (he's big on getting mail these days), and it turned into a 'Socratic Thinking' style series of why's that lead to the ultimate conclusion: Mom doesn't know why we celebrate Memorial Day. I started out trying to explain things like soldiers dying in wars for our country, and remembering loved ones who have died. But those things were WAY above his head, so I ended up talking about the sales at the mall and Kohl's - he understood that.
Carter's nicknames (besides CarterBear):
Baby Destructo (with a particular fondness of tearing up big brother's traintrack masterpieces)
The Rearranger (placing kitchen items in the bathroom and vice versa)
Laundry Boy (who can turn a neat stack of laundry into a scattered mess in seconds)
Trashcan Man (never without a snack as long as food is near the top of the trash)
