After a conversation with someone who has had new interaction with Carter, there has been some talk of him being unmanageable, "quite" the handful, (bouts of uncomfortable snickers). I am the first person to admit that Carter is a challenge, he's different from my first, and it has taken lots of learning, reading, talking, and receiving advice about how best to deal with a boy with this much drive, and passion. Some think this is a weakness though, and not to say I haven't vented about it myself, because I definitely have. My doctor told me, "I can already see that he's one curious boy, but to be serious, NEVER, EVER, squash him of his curiousity, this is Carters' greatest strength". His energy, and his love for life, and everything in it is who Carter is, it's part of his make-up. How dare I, try and stop this boy, and break his spirit? You really can't change a person, we with husbands know this, right??!!

After my venting to friends and family about someone telling me how Carter has become a handfull, and disruptive, I came to a conclusion. We al have different kids for reasons, Bonnie has triplets, I couldn't do triplets, (I don't know how she does it so well). I would be bored to tears with a child that was not running around, I myself can't sit still! Carter is meant for me, for my family, Carter is a perfect fit!

My point of this post is this, if you see a child who is, "unmanageable, or quite the handful", remember that handful is somebodys child. Children are different! Certain children belong to certain parents.
