Little Mr. Worker

So when I saw these construction worker pj's I couldn't resist getting them for Carter. Lately, Carter has really been into "working." Typically he is a garbage truck man. He goes around the house collecting the trash and then tries to squeeze all the trash into his little Elmo car. Some days he is the cleaning lady. He gets the feather duster and "dusts" the whole house. Other days he is a secret worker. This type of work is done with his bedroom closet door closed and with him in it. Gavin & I are not allowed in the closet to see his work, but we can hear lots of banging and then when we knock on the door he tells us "he is working really hard." Some days he is a McDonald's worker and sits at the table with his Mickey D register and demands that mommy places numerous food orders. Other days he is a painter. Those are not such good days. On painter days he literally is writing something on our walls! These are usually the days when mommy is swamped and has taken her eyes off worker Carter for a second. Our bedroom has been painted or shall I say scribbled a lovely shade of Crayola blue. Thanks Cart!

It truly is adorable though how he loves to pretend to work. He loves to go visit Papa and helped him burn paper in the burn barrel and watch the fire, mow the lawn and clean out the shed. My dad can keep worker Carter busy for hours outside "working." In Dalzell at Grandpa John's house Carter enjoys water the garden and helping Grandpa push the wheel barrel. I could go on and on, but he definitely is all boy. Plays hard. Works hard and...Gets really dirty!
