Funny Things

Carter does so many cute and funny things lately, but when it comes time to do my post in the evenings, I've forgotten most of them. Here's a few I can remember right now ...

Carter likes to open the cabinet under my sink in our bathroom, put his hand under the pump of the lotion, and then rub his hands together. Do you think he sees me putting lotion on my hands way too often?

Carter loves to grab our hands right now and lead us around or take us to what he wants to play with - it's very cute. The last couple of days if I tell him something like "Hold on, I need to go to the potty" when we're playing, he'll get up, take my hand, and lead me to the bathroom. Then he'll either close the door with both of us in the bathroom or try to close it from the outside (even though he can't because his hand is in the way) to give my privacy.

Carter is very good at helping let Charlotte in and out. We keep an old beach towel on one of our bar chairs to wipe Charlotte's paws when she's wet. Once Charlotte is outside, Carter likes to pull down the towel and put it by the door. Once I spread it out, he stands next to it. When I let Charlotte in, he shouts something at her and points to the towel (he's imitating me yelling at her to come back to the towel because she usually just runs off to her food or somewhere else). Then Carter will close the door for me while I'm wiping Charlotte off.

This is gross, but when Carter had a cold last week, I'd often say "We need to wipe your nose". He's a fast little guy and before I could get a new tissue, he's run into the bathroom and pull a used tissue from the waste basket and wipe his nose for me.

It amazes me how much Carter understands. I hope he figures out how to use words himself soon so he's not so frustrated!
