This continues to be Carter’s big question to me lately…..
So the other night we were sitting in the living room watching the Cardinals game and other Christian activities when Carter came up behind the couch and we had the following conversation:
Carter: Dad, when I was in heaven I asked God to give me a daddy with hair but he gave me a daddy without hair instead.
Me: Really. Does that make you sad.
Carter: No, its okay dad.
Pause where young mind comes up with new sentence…..
Carter: I thought maybe I would have a dad like Matt (Coghill).
Me: Yeah? Why is that?
Carter: Well, we both play guitar and we are both rock stars.
Not really sure how one should respond to something like this but to laugh. I did ask him if it was okay that I was his dad and if that made him happy and he assured me that I was a great dad. I have to say the man child keeps us on our toes these days.
My one saving grace these days is that Albert Pujols is also currently bald and that is a cool thing to him. Therefore, Albert and I have something in common and that makes me cool.
He is really putting this world together and it is fun to see. Scary at times. He all about letters and spelling and numbers and school is just around the corner. Heaven help us!

I'm blogging poolside thanks to our new wireless. It echoes out here when I laugh loudly. (Which come to think of it, is probably what prompted the neighbors to call the police that night so long ago...) Anyhoo. I laughed really loud reading that. Carter is a genius.
