So he wants to be a fighter...

This is sweet little Carson. He will be 3 at the end of April. He thinks he is much older since he skipped all the kid stuff and went right into playing power rangers and transformers with his big brother Davis who is 5. This past Saturday Carson was playing Captain America with my Aunt Jeni, he had a shield and some sort of thing he called a laser gun. He was shooting at her and she was ducking and then he put up the shield and said "Let's Fight". Then he got this puzzled look on his face and lowered the shield and looked at me and said "How do you fight?"

So people, how do you answer that question...how do you teach your little people about fighting? I guess on the upside at 3 they don't remember much and he has already forgotten to ask...but I am afraid it won't be long and he will figure it out...

And, yes I know those are swim goggles. He insisted on wearing them in the snow. The snow family he helped build wore them too. Then he wore them to bed.

GINORMICA


This picture was taken about a month ago, so you can only imagine the massive size that I am now...now that I am 48 hours away from having this little person. Just typing that is scary. The other thing that is scary is that Ginormica took a spill down the stairs this morning and got to spend a few hours at the hospital...aside from being a little sore from the fall all is well and the baby is great, but seriously someone is to blame for this...is it the fact that I can't see my feet or the fact that one of the little people left their shoes on the stairs...I suppose I prefer to blame them.


*As a side note, the wacky expression on my face was for my wonderful photo taking husband Keith, he too likes to call me Ginormica along with other warm and fuzzy large terms of affection (it is affection, right?), but when this photo was taken I was not so sure I liked these types of nicknames....but if the shoe fits...

so why blog...

...the simplest answer I have is that I can't remember anything if I don't write it down so this is my shot at trying to not forget what is happening in this time that everyone tells you will "go so fast". I use to scrapbook a lot, but I had one child. Then I had two and I thought about scrapbooking a lot. Now with number three just days away I wonder if I will have time to think about it...or think at all for that matter. Yes, I know there are many of you out there with many more than three children and you do it, and you inspire me to think I can...but if not at least here I might record some of the important stuff, right?!
