Chuck D & Mr. T

When Teddy likes something or just wants to say yes, he shakes his head and smiles a Princess Diana sort of smile. He also says “na na na ” for no.

Took boys to Mitchell Park to play today. Then Charlie asked if he could have pasta for lunch and help cook. I said he could be the sous chef so he said “Teddy and me sous chefs help you.”

C&T had check ups the other day.

Charlie and Teddy came to “volunteer” at our BabyLove drive this morning.

Charlie used chopsticks and Teddy ate everything in front of him at their fave restaurant, Murusaki, tonight.

Me: ” Charlie, want to go to the library and get new books?”

Ezree, one of Charlie and Teddy’s Blue Igloo teachers email me this ” Teddy and Charlie were both in my lap for circle time and we were singing the number song. At the end when we say “And numbers are our friends,” Charlie followed it with “and Teddy we’re friends” and then gave him a hug. It was so sweet!!”

While Charlie was in the neighbors house playing this afternoon Teddy and I had a delightful time walking up and down the street waving to neighbors, looking a cat, watching birds, touching trees and generally observing the street. I love doing this.

Teddy tried to say “cat” as “aghghghtaaaat”. He also has picked up a sign for more food which is a hybrid of a hand movement from a song and the sign for “more”.

Today Charlie was very tired and cry-ey–I think because of daylight savings. When I walked him into his classroom he started crying. It was the first time this ever happened. He asked me to stay and read a book, so I sat in their little book corner and read to him. His friend Claire came over and sat on my lap and the minute he saw her he cheered up, leaned over, and said “Than you for the basketball you gave me.” I was stunned that he remembered to say this to her since he had received the gift 3 days before and she wasn’t there when he got it. He obviously really liked the gift and the giver.
