James informed me the other day that Allison had more post than Carter…  So, Carter has been the subject of my last three posts.  Maybe he’s catching up.  It is interesting to note that posts about him are not necessarily about cuteness…  Stinkerism.  Morning Bath.  And Oh Little Guy!!  It seems that posts about him are about timeouts, destruction, and illness.  Not the preferred method of getting attention in Mommy’s blog!

Our little guy is in bad shape.  (Nothing terribly startling, Grandma, just a couple things that make you say, “Awww”.)  We took Carter to Good Night Pediatrics tonight - it’s a walk-in pediatric clinic that is open every night from 5 pm - 5 am.  Great place to have near us! 

We came home with three prescriptions…  Nystatin for a yeasty rash in his diaper area.  Oral antibiotics for an infection in his… um… diaper area.  And a cream for the burn he sustained from the hot toaster oven this morning.  His burn is on two fingers and it blistered on one, so they gave us the cream and instructions on how to change the “dressing” two times a day.  Oh little guy!

He’s taking it fairly well - at bedtime we discussed his tiny burn…repeatedly…

CARTER:  Boo-boo.  Toash. 
ME:  Yes, Carter, did you get a boo-boo from the toaster oven? 
CARTER:  Huh.  (Which means “yes” in Carter-ese.)
CARTER:  Toash.  Toash.  Toash.
ME:  Toast?  
CARTER:  Huh.  Toash.  Boo-boo.
ME:  Uh-huh.  Boo-boo from the toaster oven.
CARTER:  Toash.  Toash. Toash…toash…toash…

Until I left the room…

It’s Saturday morning and Mommy got to sleep late.  Daddy decided to put the kids in the tub to contain them and keep them quiet.  They were playing nicely when I got up.  Then, James and I were in the computer room and we hear Allison calling us - James gets up to go see what is going on and then I hear…

No, no, no, no, NO!  You can’t get out of the bathtub!

 I imagine there are little wet foot prints out there from Carter running across the carpet…
