"I wanna be Naked, Mom!"

Carter has known for some time how to take his clothes off, but it has been in the last few weeks that he has started taking them off in his bed.  We have gone up to bed and found him completely naked, sourounded by EVERY STUFFED ANIMAL that the kid owns.

He takes about 45 minutes to put himself to bed every night.  He is now fully accustomed to his "BIG BOY BED", never gets out, but has a ball with all of his animals every night.  Sometimes I think he looks forward to his special time with his "pets" (that is what he calls all of the stuffed animals).  We will listen to him on the monitor singing lullabyes, "Book of Mormon Stories", telling stories, getting after Pluto telling him it is time for bed, and so much more.  We needs reality TV when you can listen to your 2-1/2 year old in his bed!  We just giggle!  His imagination never quits and we love it!
