Charlie has really begun trying to join in our conversations. For instance, tonight, MJ and I were looking at a picture of a house on a realtor’s postcard and we were talking about how many levels it had, when Charlie added, “Mommy has a basement upstairs.” Or take the other day, when MJ was telling me that they had just poured concrete for the foundation of one of his new building projects, and Charlie jumped it saying, “Concrete–cats eat it.” Despite being totally inaccurate, he adds quite a bit.
