New Changes

We have a dog, Piston, who is a 70 lb pitbull that is a couple of inches taller than Carter who we are hoping is at least 21 lbs. Well, Piston has loved Carter since the day we brought him home from the hospital. In fact, Piston loves everyone and everything. Carter and Piston are PERFECT for each other! While driving back to Utah, Carter made a MESS with a small bag of Cheetos, and Piston helped him to clean up. For awhile, I couldn't understand why Carter was laughing so much until I looked back to see Piston very generously cleaning Carter's hands, because mommy couldn't do it.

Now that Carter is what I like to call a 'terrible toddler,' Piston is quite unsure of his boundaries. Before Carter couldn't do too much in the way of hurting anyone, and now he's into everything and loving playtime with his dog. Carter just found a plastic, child's baseball bat that is taller than him and i'm pretty sure wider than him. Well, he loves that thing and thinks it's THE best toy to play with, especially during doggy playtime. Let's just say that even though Carter is not the most stable child on the planet, he gives Piston a good run for his dogbones. We've seen Piston run under the crib to hide from his 'brother,' but Carter won't have that, since Carter and the bat fit there too. This is one of the funniest things I've seen between the two, because Piston is such a gentle giant and Carter is a tiny terror. But after all is said and done, Piston still gives Carter goodnight kisses, and Carter gives great big hugs to his 'brother.'
