Conversations with Carter

One evening while we were eating supper:

Carter - Go ou-side and play?

Corbin - No, buddy we can't play outside tonight, it's dark out there.

Carter - Get flashlight and go play? (Flashlight is pronounced "trashlight")

One morning, I overheard Carter talking to his teddy through the monitor:

Carter - Teddy, where are you?....oh, there you are teddy!

(I go into his room thinking he is ready to get up)

Carter - No Mommy! Still sleeping! Go away Mommy! Carter still sleeping!

Me - Okay, okay. Sorry.

(I leave the room)

20 seconds later...

Carter - Okay Mommy, Carter all done night-night.

Whenever Carter feels the need to bust in the bathroom when I am using it...

Carter - Mommy, going potty?

Me - Yep, I sure am.

Carter - Good job Mommy!

While randomly whining in the car on the way home...

Me - Carter, what is your problem?

Carter - My throwing a fit.

Me - Yes, I see that. You need to stop crying and acting like a baby. You are a big boy and big boys don't throw fits.

Carter - No, still crying!

(a few minutes later)

Carter - Okay, Mommy, all done crying.
After he uses the bathroom, the nursery worker at church is helping him wash his hands...

NW - Okay, Carter, now shake off the water. Shake shake shake!

Carter - Shake your bootie!!

After Carter broke something of Corbin's...

Carter - Daddy, I sowy I broke it. It was a vewy (very) accident.

Sitting at the supper table one night, our dog starts barking (Buster, Carter calls him Bubba)...

Carter - Bubba, no barking, bad girl!

Me - Carter, Bubba is a boy!

Carter - NO MOMMY! Bubba is a DOG! (he said it with such a teenager "DUH" tone, it was hilarious)
