MJ was in London for a week and C missed him so much. He would look all over for him and ask for him over and over. He would also say “Dada?” and make a drawing motion with his arm to indicate that he wanted MJ to come draw with him. So sweet but so heartbreaking. He was consoled slightly by looking at polaroids we took right before MJ left and by making Carol stand in line for a pony ride so he could get a turn. He wanted to get off once he got on. Petting horses right now is more his speed, though when we took him to Rock Creek stables he was desperate to get on a horse. 

Current favorite books:
One Love (a photography book of soccer being played around the world, which is almost too heavy for him to pick up)
Horse Facts (a slightly boring reference guide)
Bedtime (a board book about a bunny getting ready for bed. The bunny wears striped PJs and asks his father, who is watching a rabbit soccer game on TV, to read him a book. Charlie really relates.)
