Quite the helpful boy
Offered to clean up spilled milk
Husband in training
Yesterday, after having just mopped the floor, Ella purposely dropped her sippy cup FULL of very expensive organic milk, which promptly spilled and left a huge mess for me to clean up.
I spend the majority of my days wondering if my son has been possessed by a teenage premenstral girl with all of his irrational tanturms and drama. Sometimes, however, Carson’s female characteristics suit him well. After seeing the spilled milk, his womanly intuition told him that Mommy was very angry (or maybe, just maybe, he heard me cursing under my breath and saw my eyes nearly bulge out of my head, and heard my fists pound on the countertop…either way).
“It’s otay, Mommy. Tawson twean it up!” [Carson clean it up.]
I watched in awe as he searched for his play vacuum cleaner. (“Batuum?? Batuum?? [vacuum] Where are you??” Could you just die from the cuteness!) Proudly he brought it into the kitchen and began “vacuuming” the area around Ella’s high chair.
Looking very proud, he said, “Mommy not andwy [angry]! All twean!”
Everybody together now….”Aaaaaaah!”
I’m willing to begin taking applications for those interested in being his future wife. The line forms here.
What a sweet little man. It’s just a shame they grow into teenagers… Ouch on the spilled organic milk.

Awww. Boo just came in with a leaf. He was all ‘Crunch it Mummy!’ I said I would if he took it outside afterwards.
I crunched.
He put it on the ground.
‘You need to vacuum Mummy’
Yeah, I am a failure. Can Carson come and teach Boo?

If you could bottle and sell whatever training method you used to produce those results, you’d be a rich woman.

Yup.
His future wife is gonna be one lucky lady.
A tidy husband and a cool mother in law.

AAAAH! That is just the CUTEST!
In addition to being the perfect future husband, you could let him train other little boys that there is more to life than wrestling and picking their noses. I know two little ones that could make for an excellent first attempt at teaching for him….
Maggie’s last blog post..So this is what it feels like…
Let’s see. I have one (1) female child, age 2 (nearly 3). She likes dinosaurs, applesauce; dislikes naps, having her hair combed. Her dowry will be one (1) cow, for refilling the sippee cup.

aaaahhhh. Too cute. The wasted organic milk thing makes me insane at my house–my son doesn’t drink milk…it’s a constant battle. So why do I give him organic to throw away? Because it’s healthier–for the disposal evidently.
Mom24′s last blog post..Haiku Friday–Sad
interesting how
children make decisions like
Carson did today ;–)
I so admire everyone engaged in the raising of children … especially in today’s world.
I’ve shared ‘illustrated lessons’ from my 1st week in Photoshop Elements on each of my blogs today … just because.
Hugs and blessings,.

Sadly it’s too late for Tate…he’s too far gone. Carson, however, is my minion. I plan to make him the best husband material out there.
What does organic milk TASTE like? Just wondering. Oh.. and I’m *only* 31.. can I get in line? Otherwise, Ive got a SUPER charming 6.5 year old daughter who attends an academy for academically talented children and is oh so super sweet. This morning after I kissed her goodbye to leave for work she says (with a mouth full of toothpaste) “I love you mommy..dont worry, I’ll look after your puppies till my bus gets here” .. so.. Carson and Devyn sitting in a tree…

Oh no, what a mess. How nice your son wants to help. My kids are terrified of the vacuum. I think its a ploy!

Organic milk is unbelievably delicious. Worth the extra expense. Seriously.
No fair making the hungry pregnant lady all sentimental.
Happy Friday!
Ok, I think we need to arrange a marriage!
And, organic milk? I’ve always wanted to try, but the price tag skeers me!
I love Haikuing! Thanks
And Molly would like to get in on that waiting list 
How cute. Giggles had a vacuum like that and I love that it actually picked up. I didn’t like the cheesey bag that they had in it, never held enough for Giggles’s vacuum efforts.

That is the sweetest thing! My daughter is deathly afraid of the vacuum *sobs* I will surely need to find her a man who vacuums
Now if only I can figure out the “look” that will get her to do laundry

ahh, so ridiculously cute! Does your son like hummus, dinosaurs and long walks while pointing out random piles of dog poo? I’d put in an application for my daughter but she’s so headstrong, she’d buck the arranged marriage. Better they find each other away at college. Let them think it was their idea…

I don’t have a daughter yet, can my future one get in line? (I’m sure that with all the heckleberries I raised as a kid/teen I’m going to have at leat 3 just so my mom can say “I told you so!”)
You let me know…
CourtneyRyan’s last blog post..alas, its friday (again) !!
So sweet.
If Ella is already betrothed to my son, would it be weird if I asked for Elliot to marry Carson? The girl is going to need all the cleaning help she can get.
andi’s last blog post..I wasn’t planning on joining the club so soon
I have been looking ALL OVER for one of those things for Quentin! Evidently, they’re only carried at Target & Meijer during the holiday season. Now they’ve got the lawnmowers out, and THOSE don’t actually work, unlike the kiddie dust-busters. Awesome kid you’ve got there.

Oh, I totally linked. I have a almost 4 year old daughter and I will totally support arranged marriage..especially if he cleans well! She will thank me for it years from now!

What you need to do is get Carson a Swiffer – take out the middle piece and it’s kid size. Then he really is cleaning even while he thinks he’s pretending! Alex loooves the Swiffer.
heather’s last blog post..who wins now huh?
I’m wondering if this is all toddler boys? Mine loves to empty the dishwasher. And, he would kill for a toy play kitchen.

Oh, Daddy Dearest won’t let him have a hoover, so he uses his toy lawnmower when he wants to help vac. the carpets.
