We spend a lot of time discussing time, with Charlie saying “What is one month?” “No, now.” etc He often says things will be in “Two hours” or happened “last year,” as in, “Mommy, remember had pancakes last year?” Charlie, actually that was two hours ago. The best one was “Mommy, remember college? Last year?” I wish it was last year, Charlie.
Driving out to look at horses one afternoon on the Vineyard, I pointed into a field and said “Look horses!” and Charlie responded “They’re cows. Sorry, mommy.”
C has been very interested in teeth has Milly was loosing teeth and Teddy was getting teeth.
Teddy is so cuddly and friendly to those he wants to be friendly to. If he likes someone (like Brooke and Ed yesterday) he will reach out to be held, then put his head on their shoulder, then smile, and then reach back for me to take him.
I love summer. Teddy wears only a diaper pretty much all day so I get to cuddle with and feel his soft little baby arms, leggies, and tummy.
At nap time today MJ had gone into take a nap himself as I was putting Charlie down. So I told Charlie we could sneak in and see what Daddy looks like when he takes a nap. I carried him in and he looked and MJ and beamed. He was so thrilled to be going to sleep after his father and to see his father asleep–something I can only imagine he has imagined. As he lay down in his crib he said “Why Daddy wear Daddy shirt (aka collared shirt)? You look at me when I sleep?” All the time my love.
