The worries of a 3 year old...

Okay, I should've said, "The worries of MY 3 year old..." Because I don't think most 3 year olds worry about the same things Carson worries about.
Choosing what clothes to wear? Nope.
Getting a treat after dinner? Nope.
Havnig to take a nap? Nope again.

Here's a few examples of things that were bothering Carson this past week.

The first of his worries came when he was suppose to be going to sleep. (This is usually when all his thoughts come out, and we can't get him to stop talking for 3 seconds.) Apparently, Carson is very worried about who he is going to have to marry when he gets older. He really WANTS to marry McKenzie, but when we told him he couldn't marry his own sister, he about had a melt down. He couldn't figure out who in the world he would possibly marry unless it was Kenz. We told him that eventually he would find a friend, fall in love and then he would marry her. He didn't really buy it. It's funny though, since when James was little, he told me that he constantly worried about getting married. Though his reason was a little different, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I guess James didn't ever want to get married because he didn't like the taste of wedding cake, and he was afraid he would have to eat the cake if he got married! I'm glad he changed his mind.

Another time this week, Carson asked me when he was going to die. This isn't unusual for kids, and he has actually asked about it before. I told him, we never know when we're going to die and live with Jesus again, but it probably won't be for a very long time. I asked him why and he replied he didn't want to die. I asked him why again and his answer took me by surprise. He's not worried of being away from me. He's not worried about getting hurt and feeling pain. My 3 year old is worried that they don't SLEEP in heaven, and if they do, they won't have HIS same bed where Jesus lives, and he claims that he really likes to sleep on his OWN bed. (Yeah right. I'll remind him of that at bedtime! )

He has always got something crazy going on in his little mind, and I love to just sit and have conversations with him to see what he's thinking about!

Other than his random thoughts, he has been learning lots lately at school too. This week, Carson finally learned how to write his name by himself. I still help with the S's a little, but he's got the rest down pretty well! Take a little look...
