I think I have a prodigy on my hands. Carter seems to have hit the terrible twos rather early. He is VERY rough. He loves to hit us in the face, kick us when we are changing him, or refuse to sit still to get dressed or brush his teeth. He loves phones, so I found some of our old cell phones, charged them, and made sure they weren't called anyone before I gave them to him. He loves to throw them at us. Last night, he smacked Kevin in the face with one. When we tell him "no," he hits the air and grunts. I am worried that I'm going to have the bad kid that no one wants to have around. Hopefully it's just a phase and will pass quickly.

My parents wanted to go to Clemson, and I didn't mind. I hadn't been up there since I was pregnant with Carter.
Carter took a nap on the way up.
Our first stop was Pot Belly Deli for lunch. I had to have a Home on the Ranch and Zaps.
After, we parked downtown and went to the shops. We made sure Carter got a new T-shirt. I also picked up some Father's Day gifts. After, we walked to campus to show my parents our bricks. Here are a few pics from President's Park:
After, we headed over to Carillon Gardens and back to the car. It was HOT.
We made a quick stop at the Botanical Gardens before heading to Greenville.

Hmmm, where do I begin. I feel like I haven't had much of a break yet. As soon as I returned from DC, I worked the following Monday and Tuesday, I cleaned the house and my parents came in on Wednesday, I gave blood on Thursday, and we went to Clemson and Greenville on Friday. It was a busy week.
Carter also developed a "loose stool" problem. I had forgotten that he had woken up very messy right before I left for DC. Well, I got a call on Tuesday to tell me he had poop from one end of his classroom to another. I took him to the doctor that afternoon. She seemed to think it was too much juice and told me to just give him soy milk and water. The poop continued. From Friday to Monday, we adhered to a rather strict BRAT diet. I even kept him home on Monday to make sure he wasn't eating anything he shouldn't. When he was still poopy on Tuesday, I called the doctor and took him back on Wednesday. In doing some blood work, we determined it's jusgt a lingering virus. I also brought them a diaper to culture. (Hmm, isn't this a pleasent post?) We haven't gotten the results of the culture. Carter is only pooping once a day, but it is rather scary when he does.

The week after school got out, we left for our extended year field study. We took 61 rising 8th graders and 8 adults to Williamsburg and Washington, DC.
We started off our trip in Jamestown.
From there, we went to Williamsburg for dinner and a tour the following morning.
That afternoon, we headed over to Busch Gardens, and the following morning, we woke up and headed straight to the Capitol.
After, we went to the Air and Space Museum. While eating lunch, our principal called us to tell us she was getting many phone calls from parents because they had heard about the shooting at the Holocaust Memorial. That was the first we heard of it. We had every student call their parents to let them know we were ok. The crazy thing is that we would have been there that day had we not had to make some last minute adjustments to our itinerary. Due to reports of car bombs, our buses drove right past us waiting for them when we were done at the museums. One bus made it back, but the bus driver for my bus got lost. We ended up waiting for an hour and 45 minutes. We finally found out our bus was one street over, so we ran to it. Once on it, we were side-swiped and lost a mirror. That was the craziest day of the trip. We finally made it to our hotel and to th eKennedy center for dinner and a performance of "Sheer Madness." The play was hilarious. I would love to see it again.
The next day, we did our memorial and monument walk in the morning.
From there, we went to Mt. Vernon for the afternoon. That evening, we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe and went to more monuments at night.
Friday morning FINALLY came. We packed up the bus and headed to Arlington. There, we had a few students lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier.
We were exhausted.
We boarded the bus for an uneventful trip home.
