While we were in Chicago, Carter had a big time with his Cart Cart. As I understand it, they worked at a soup kitchen, went to Carter's gymnastics and swimming classes, played with the cousins, enjoyed the aquarium, played at Cart Cart's house and ate a LOT of food (at least Carter did, not sure about Cart Cart).
Here's an anecdote that Cart Cart shared with us about the weekend:
"I was, as usual, trying to figure out your TV remote. Carter walked over, said, 'Let me show you Cart Cart -- first push this, then this, then this.' And the $%^# TV came on! It's no longer, 'Are you smarter than a 5th grader,' but 'Are you stupider than a 3 year old?' Looks like that would be a Yes."
(Thanks for sharing, Cart Cart! And, to be fair, our remote is very difficult to use. I'm sure he just got lucky. Maybe.)

I agree about the remote. Next time I come I will have to write down each step, or let Carter do it for me. GB
I still can't figure out the volume
Rather than get frustrated as usual, I now know just to ask, "Carter, how does this work again?"
I'm content with the fact that he got his smarts from somewhere....mostly the Stegall side?! (And his father.) I'll just shut up while I'm behind....!
