\u00a0He just IS? \u00a0He always has been? \u00a0Always will be? \u00a0Kind of a hard concept to explain to a toddler, and to totally grasp as an adult. \u00a0I guess I should start preparing myself for more situations like this one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Last week Betsy tipped over Ginger&#8217;s water bowl. \u00a0I was pretty irritated. \u00a0While I was wiping it up Carson said, &#8220;It&#8217;s not so important, mom.&#8221; \u00a0Such a wise child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When he was getting his hair cut the lady had just finished clipping on one side. \u00a0When I moved him so that she could get the other side he said with such despair in his voice, &#8220;Not again!&#8221; \u00a0She and I both looked at each other and tried to hold back our laughter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When he goes to bed there is a typical exchange between he and Ben as we head up the stairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Carson: &#8220;Goodnight, Dad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ben: &#8220;Goodnight, buddy. \u00a0You&#8217;re my favorite little boy in the whole wide world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And then sometimes Carson says he&#8217;s his favorite daddy, or he says I love you. \u00a0But recently he&#8217;s been saying &#8220;Have sweet dreams, dad!&#8221; and to me sometimes he&#8217;ll say, &#8220;See you in my dreams!&#8221; which sounds so sweet, like he&#8217;s dreaming about me, but really I think it&#8217;s a combination of &#8220;sweet dreams&#8221; and &#8220;see you in the morning&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I know there are other things I will remember once I post this, but that&#8217;s all I have at the moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Stand still and let me take your picture!&#8221; Carson&#8217;s haircut is kind of adorable. \u00a0I wanted to take a picture of him this morning before school, but getting him to stand still isn&#8217;t always easy. \u00a0So instead of posting a blurry shot, I &#8220;made&#8221; (uploaded pictures to this site) an animated GIF! \u00a0Who knew it &#8230; <span class=\"more\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/2013\/10\/10\/282365\/\">[Read more&#8230;]<\/a><\/span><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":""},"categories":[9,8],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/sWbPG-282365","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2576"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2576"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2583,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2576\/revisions\/2583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
