The boys love playing dress up.  Carter mainly likes to don a cape accompanied by a variety of other dress up items, none of which really go together.  It’s all the more charming though.  Today he was a batman/superman/pirate/knight one of a kind, which Brayden pranced around as Mario.  

I loved that Brayden tries to play with Carter like they are the same age.  He gives all these complicated directions, followed by an okay, Carter? to which Carter responds with a yeah!, which confuses Brayden to high heaven.  Then he doesn’t understand why Carter doesn’t follow the directions or play along with the game at hand.  

And speaking of Carter, he’s definitely in some kind of funk.  He is cranky and whiney and is only happy while eating junk food or holding his paci and blanket.  It’s really the complete opposite of fun.  Let’s hope it’s a short phase—either that or something simple like an ear infection, which is easy enough to get rid of.
