Dear Carter,
I LOVE:
Your need for Band-aids on owies that are weeks old. And that when I put a fresh Band-aid on, you tell me "That's better now." And that you'd prefer to not wear long pants so that you can always see your Band-aid.
Your fascination with the potty. That you beg to sit on the potty and can sit there for 30 minutes straight without 1 single drop coming out. And then immediately get in the bathtub and pee like a race horse.
Your obsession with vehicles of every kind. 
And that riding the bus around town made your day. You didn't stop talking about it for weeks.
Your cute golf attire.
Your obsession with going golfing. You love everything your daddy loves.
How well you listen while we golf and patiently wait your turn. 
How you are content to ride in the cart with me and ALWAYS tell me "Good driving Mommy."
Your obsession with animals but refusal to ride them and/or pet them. We wasted $3 this day to hear you cry for 2 straight laps.
Your ability to have fun anywhere. Even in our boring backyard. With boring Mommy.
Your plumbers crack.
Your complete adoration with tractors and earthmovers. You would rather ride a tractor than a pony.
Your hesitation to try corn on the cob. But after the first bite, you were hooked and you haven't looked back since.
That when Mommy says no more cantaloupe that you wait til I'm not looking and steal a slice from the counter. And you aren't afraid to dig the rinds out of the garbage for seconds. You can clean a rind like nobody's business. And, How you're not afraid to make a mess when you eat. On the table, the chairs, the floor...etc.
That you love to wrestle and jump on us at the most inappropriate times. This time caused a black eye for Daddy.
Your complete and utter love for Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater. Those 2 plastic cars are your best buddies. They will entertain you for hours and are great for long car trips. You would watch this movie 12 times a day if I let you.

What a sweet post! I love all the pictures, I can't believe how grown up he is becoming :)
Ahhh, we miss Carter (Evan)!! Tell Carter it's ok because Mitch needs a bandaid on 3 day old owies as well. I was once told to enjoy the time when a band aid will fix everything!! I guess for a $1 a box, I should.
He is such a sweet little boy- we really cannot wait to see him again. What a sweet post- we love him too, even if he won't pee in the potty. Give him a kiss for us and tell him Timmy misses him.

What I love about Carter-
The way I have to force him to do something I know he would love.
The way I can get him to do anything I want just by offering him some swedish fish. How whenever I call him silly, funny, etc he says "I'm not silly; I'm Evan." His naked hugs (sometimes). How everytime he comes into a room I can scare the bagesus out of him. And how he thinks that I buy everything for him, and his mommy gets no credit! That little boy has my heart and I love him! Love you Carter!
Love,
Aunt Catherine
This is Grandma. Did you find Mater? And didn't tell me? I looked all through my car, under couches, etc, etc. Tell me if you found him so I can stop looking. And I Love being with Carter. I especially love to hear him say his juicy "delicious!"
