”Raising Grampy” and the Latest Adventures With Carson

Hello Peoples! It’ me, Carson. I don’t think I’ve written anything for a long time! So much has happened!

First, Grampy went away for a looonnnggg time. (Grampy told me to spell it like that. I don’t think that’s the way to spell it but…okay!)

He went to see my cousin Liam in that Texas place. 


We did that FaceTime thing almost every day but it wasn’t as good as when Grampy’s here. I hung out with just Grammy a few days but then she went to that Texas place too! I’m going to go there in the summer. I think that’s tomorrow.

Then guess what? That Easter Bunny thing came to my house.


I don’t know when he came. I never heard my puppy bark. He barks at Grampy every time Grampy comes over and he KNOWS Grampy. Somehow I don’t think he would like a giant bunny.


Then I got in my church clothes and we went to church for Easter. I helped the minister with her sermon thing.

Grammy and Grampy came home and we got back into our regular routine. I spend a few afternoons with them and the rest with my Gigi.

Yeah, I’m a rascal.

Grampy note: Sure! No toys in this house.


The weather started getting warmer so I didn’t have to put on my bear suit anymore. That was a good thing because mommy said it was getting a little tight on me.

I went to a place called a Zoo With my mommy and daddy.


We saw so many aminals. I was pooped when we finished.


Grammy, Grampy and Charlie come to my house to play sometimes.

Charlie is taller than me but Grampy says “Not for long!”

Sometimes Grampy and I have serious conversations.

And sometimes we don’t.


I like to stand up a lot now. Grampy says I’m probably going to go right to walking and skip crawling. 

I’m not really getting this crawling stuff.


Mommy says I learned this from watching her do Yoga. Something called the “downward dog?” Daddy says I was twerking. I don’t even know what that is.

So maybe next time I write I’ll be crawling. 

Oh, Grampy said I should show you one more picture.


This was after a walk on a windy day. I had my winter hat on and when I took it off this happened. 

At least I HAVE hair to have “hat hair” Grampy! Hahahaha!!!


“Raising Grampy” is an occasional series written through the eyes of Pete’s 10-month-old grandson, Carson. Carson lives in Acushnet with his mommy, daddy and his dog Kenzie.
