I really try to avoid the cliche (I can’t make an accent over that e, sorry) mommyblogger posts. Not that there’s anything wrong with them, I just want this blog to be more about me (selfish, I know) and life rather then a run down of the color of Carter’s crap. You catch my drift?
Once and a while I do have to bring out the mom stuff and share the cutesy and wonderful things that he does, and this is one of those moments; because I fear, this blog may turn into something where we discuss this new impending child, my fatness and lack of sleep. So today? Today is about Carter. Which coincidently co-insides with The Great Mofo De-lurk 2007. Great timing!
So Carter. He’s the child that I rarely speak of. I am caught on the fence of What Information Should I Divulge About My Child so I try to keep it minimal. But he’s a complete ham. He’s hilarious and has an attitude no one would want to fuck with. But I do. ‘Cuz that’s my job.
When things don’t go his way, He. Will. Let. You. Know. and depending on where we are, everyone else will know too. He’s busy, bouncy and sometimes down right nuts. But I really wouldn’t have it any other way.
Now that we’ve hit two things have changed. He’s more independent, wild and adventurous, which also leads to carefree and far less inhibited. Total ladies man this one. At eighteen (hopefully older) he will definitely be one to charm the panties off your daughters those girls.
We’ve slowly been working on potty training. And by slowly I mean, we have a potty that doubles as a stool and only gets brought out when I need something out of the top of the linen closet. But last night it came out for some daddy and Carter potty time. As Mike was trying to direct Carter how to keep his penis inside the potty, Carter let out a big grunt while looking quizzically at Mike.
“It’s broken Daddy”
[Seriously, look at that picture. The kid's got skillz. He's the next Tommy Lee minus the Hep C, drugs and sluttiness of course.]
And! Big Boy Bed!
I don’t want to jinx it so I won’t say too much. Carter is doing great. Since Saturday he’s been sleeping in the bed, only to have escaped (hahaha) once. If he’s upset when we take him to bed he usually just sits in it, crying, until he falls asleep.
So awesome, right? Don’t be a hater. Now that I’ve mentioned it, it’ll all change anyway.
Since I’m home with a sick child today (who really doesn’t seem all that sick, but throwing up at daycare warrants a day at home they think. Whatever.) I’ll be doing my best to de-lurk on some of my most favourite sites and say hi!
You had better get de-lurking, even if it’s just to say hi or to tell me how cute my kid is. Cuz seriously? He’s so damn cute.
don’t think i need to be delurking…but damnit, he’s a cute kid!

Absolutely right. he’s damn cute. Hi.
We had about the same experience in the toddler bed. Ally would sit there no matter what. It was awesome. I am 100% positive that is not going to happen when we switch Anya.

Hope Carter feels better.
