Chuck D & Mr. T

Teddy really does not like it when Charlie is in my lap or arms. He cries, tries to get me to hold him, and tries to move Charlie out.

Teddy has begun wearing little baby “shoes” and loves it. He points for the shoes and then sticks his feet out to get me to put them on him.

This morning MJ accidently knocked our fruit bowl off the counter and it broke. Charlie almost started crying–I had no idea he was so attached to the fruit bowl.

I’ve never wanted a camera so much as this morning as I watched MJ ride down street in the sidecar of our friend Alec’s motorcycle, wearing his glasses, a little white helmet, and my purple rain coat.

Kitty Cat Gran babysat the boys this morning and when Charlie decided he wanted to watch a Curious George movie, he walked her thru using the “motes.” He knows how to get what he wants.

Teddy had me push him around the block today in a doll stroller.

Charlie yelled to me from the living room tonight “Teddy walked into my arms!!!!” He was so excited. It was so cute. He gets really excited whenever Teddy walks but this took the cake.

I told Charile and Teddy an abridged version of Gulliver’s Travels as I pushed them home from the park tonight. Charlie said “Tell it again” about twenty times. He really liked the idea of little people with little things. So for dinner I gave him teeny tiny pieces of carrots. He was thrilled.

Charlie and Teddy are gaga for acorns. I mean totally obsessed. We spend a lot of time stopping at various places around the neighborhood so they can pick up acorns. Charlie gets handfuls and Teddy just sits right down in the dirt or on the sidewalk to grab them. As we walk from Charlie’s school to the car he fills his school bag with them.
