insight

this past week, my sweet mother-in-law shared a few stories about dan as a child. this has given me some insight into carter's "unique" personality.

dan is the youngest of four. this means he did lots of things for attention. such as:

--intentionally fell out of his chair at dinnertime most days for about two years straight

--no one wanted him on their tball team b/c he would hit the ball and then run to 3rd base and sit down and put a glove on his head and refuse to move

--he hated to swim so when he was supposed to be going to swim lessons he went to the park and splashed water on himself from the drinking fountain so it looked like he had gone

--he fell down the stairs and climbed up and jumped off stuff. a lot.

i think we may be in for a some interesting experiences with carter...
