So, I think Carter might need some therapy in the future. I think...............he is..................a HOARDER!
He wants to keep everything.....and I mean EVERYTHING.
If he catches me throwing something away, he literally has a breakdown. Starts breathing heavy, and tries not to cry.
Some examples of things he gets upset about:

1.He didn't want Bryan to bag the leaves from the yard and throw them away. He wanted to keep them ALL. After he collected about 10 leaves(that I will be sneaking into the garbage in the near future), I convinced him to take a picture of all the leaves so that he would remember them.

2.He wants to keep every single worksheet that he does in school. I do try to keep my favorites, but for heavens sake I cannot keep them all!

3. Those little stickers that come on fruit and vegetables.....he has to peel them off and keep them. If I have a piece of fruit without him and don't keep the sticker, boy am I in trouble.

4.Cereal boxes, milk cartons, pizza boxes, you name it.....yep, he wants to keep it. The only thing he hasn't asked to keep is Dirty Diapers.........I guess that's a blessing in disguise right??

Fortunately I have convinced him that taking pictures is a great way to remember things. Unfortunately I am sick of having the go through and erase the hundreds of pictures off my camera that he took of "garbage" ! I think I see Santa bringing him his own camera in the very near future!
