rocking the mohawk

every once in a while carson lets me put some hair gel in his hair and give him a mohawk. he finally has enough hair on his head, in fact i am having to take him almost every month to get his hair cut otherwise it looks a little unruly.

so carson has done a wonderful job of sleeping in his "big boy" bed. he hasn't tried getting out... until now! one day last week i put him down for his nap. sometimes he doesn't really nap, but just has what i like to call "quiet time." quiet time for the both of us, and if i am lucky it also includes brooks, but only if i am really lucky! anyway, for the most part carson just sits in his bed, plays with his friends, mickey, manny, goofy, and pooh bear, reads some books or just talks to himself. he'll do this sometimes for 2 hours. well, the other day he decided to get down from his bed and play on the floor. i was ok with this because he was staying in his room. not so much anymore. i got out of bed this morning only to find his door wide open and carson nowhere to be found. i ran downstairs, praying i wouldn't find him laying unconscious at the bottom of the stairs, only to find him playing in his playroom. he looked up at me like, "what's up, where you been?" so needless to say, there is a gate in front of his door now!
