Spring break at The River was full of "firsts"!

First-time swimming without anyone's help! Just "floaties" on his arms.
First-time making his own peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
(If you look closely, you can see that he is using Reggie as a seat)

First taste of sand and rocks...didn't seem to mind much.

First-time flying a kite.

First-time walking the dog. (obviously it's not Reggie, whom I have trouble keeping under control) Bronco, Grandpa Tom's dog, walked along and Grandpa would tell him to "Heel, slow, wait" and Carson held the leash...all by himself.

Paul went to NYC on a business trip the week after easter, so the kids and I took a mini-vacation. (It was well-deserved after the previous week with Carson's illness) We had a great time and Carson showed that he is growing into a boy quickly with all of the things that he did for The First Time...All By Himself.
