Carter's Story

My photo
This blog is a look into the life of our nearly six year old little boy, Carter. When I was just six months pregnant, an ultrasound detected that Carter's brain was missing its corpus callosum and he also had hydrocephalus. Doctors even told us that our little boy may not walk, talk, etc... but abortion was never a choice for us because we firmly believe that God does not make junk. We look at Carter now and praise God for the miracle he is! Carter loves to play, and he CAN walk and talk! Carter is continually proving himself to us, to our families and to his teachers. I have been priveleged to be able to stay home with Carter, Camden and Elliana since November of 2006 when Carter was born. I am so thankful I am here to hold his hand and face his challenges right along side of him. A mother's love only grows, this I know. Some days may be challenging but always worth it at the end of the day.

Leaps and Bounds

I wanted to write this morning to talk more about my Carter. Carter has began potty training this week and has done remarkably well! The first time I tried it took about ten minutes and finally he went after I started the water in the bathtub...Wow..I was in shock that he actually did it and boy did I praise him! :) Yesterday, Carter went potty for me twice! He went alot quicker also..a couple minutes each time...Some of my family got to witness him pottying yesterday! Daddy has yet to see Carter man go potty.
I know that Carters learning style could mean repetition more than the average child..so I figured it was time to start because Carter has sparked more of an interest in his...well you know. :)
Carter has also been doing more and more walking...seeming to show off more for me and for my family. IT is exciting! On Monday, he went from the living room recliner clear into his bedroom...yay! That is the furthest yet (that I have seen anyways!)..Way to go Carter man. Leaps and Bounds I tell you...Some people may call this ordinary, I call it extraordinary! Who knew..God is good and faithful and I thank HIM for all he does...I know he has an awesome plan for our Carter and that He is going to take Carter exactly where Carter should be in life.
