New tricks

So, Mommy has taught Carson some new tricks. :) They are so darn cute I can't stand it!!
First: he was playing with the lotion on Wed night. So, I opened it and put a little in his hands. He wasn't sure what to do with it. I put a little in my hand and rubbed my hands together to show him what to do. I put a little back in his hand and rubbed his hands together. Then Carson tapped the lotion on his hand (nothing came out - he hasn't figured out to squeeze the bottle to make it come out, thank goodness), put the bottle down, and rubbed his hands together. It was so precious!! Now he does it all the time and wants to put lotion on your hands too.
Second: Animal sounds. He said "moe" this morning for "moo" -- close enough for me. (Background info-- I don't really read his books anymore. I point to an animal, name it, and make the appropriate noise. Yes, I look like a total a**, but he finds it entertaining.) Well, I raise my arm like a trunk while trumpeting like an elephant. He raised his arm with me last night when we were on the elephant page. Next time, he made a noise while he did it. Yeah!! Of course he wouldn't do it when I called Cj to watch. But, Cj called this afternoon to let me know that Carson showed him how to be an elephant. Adorable.
