Grandpa Lyman comes to visit!

My dad came down to see us for a few days, and we had alot of fun! Carter loves his Grandpa, and had a blast playing with him while he was here! He gave Carter a hat, and he has worn it everywhere ever since. In fact, he has to sleep with it on! My dad drove a Jones truck down, and brought a bunch of my old things that were still in St. George. One of the things he brought was my old rocking chair from when I was Carter's age. Carter loves sitting in it, and sometimes rocks his animals in it. Carter was also very excited that we had Grandpa's big Jones truck parked outside. He had fun sitting inside of it and pretending to drive. It was all good, until Carter left the lights on and the battery went dead. Had to jump start it when it was time for my dad to go. Sorry Dad.:) Grandpa spoiled us and took us to Chuck E Cheese (Carter's favorite place to go)! I was a little nervous because Carter was on day 5 of potty training, but he did great! In fact, I'm so glad my Dad came when he did, cause he helped Carter stay excited about going to the potty. I'm glad we stuck with it, cause I was about to give up. Now he is a fully trained boy!:) Playing games with Daddy and Grandpa! So much fun!! With potty training, we would give Carter a treat everytime he went. He would get an extra special treat (chocolate!) when he went #2. (...yes, that is chocolate on his hands and face.) Wearing Mommy's glasses, belt, and ring. He wears my old glasses around so much that people think they are actually his. We just had a few bad storms in a row here, which was fun... but it suddenly brought back Carter's allergies full force. Then he caught a cold on top of that. So I tried my best to keep my sick little guy happy at home for a few days. "MUSIC MAKERS"! A lady in my ward started a singing group for all the little ones in our neighborhood. Carter LOVES it! We get together every Wed. morning and sing songs, dance around, play, and eat snacks.
"The Octopus Song"...well that's what Carter calls it anyway.:)
