Teddy is so sweet and constantly generous. When we read This Little Piggy Went to Market in a book with pictures, he also points to the picture of the pig with roast beef and then to the picture of the pig with none and says “Share! Share!”

In one week the babies got their first earthquake and first hurricane! What excitement.

Two crying newborns

A 2 year old, a 3 year old, a barking dog, a cast on, and a hurricane all alone. Somehow it was fine. But was still thrilled when Elena next door took the big kids over there and fed them dinner (and let me use her scale to weigh Nell. Why not go get weighed during a hurricane).

Today when MJ and Teddy were on their way outside and said “Charlie come on,” he responded “I’m going to stay here with the baby.” It was so sweet.

Charlie was also dressed as a fireman and I was standing holding Scottie and Charlie said “You are a tree and the baby is a kitten stuck in a tree and I will save her.” Teddy ran over he shuted “[I’m the] fire chief!!!”

We have a mouse in the house so the night nurse, Emily, and au pair, Siri are really terrified and scream each time they see it. Leo the exterminator comes to deal with it but so far they are still here. Charlie asks “Why does the mouse want to be here?”

Teddy turned two on Friday. I can’t believe he is all grown up. It seems like it was only two minutes ago that I was in the hospital delivering. Even then he was so laid back and cuddly and I loved him the second I heard him cry.

He is so sweet and cute and cuddly and smart and lovable and friendly and funny and charming and agreeable and easy going and fun. I could not love him more. I just want to hug and kiss him all day. Even when he is not right in front of me, I think about him and want to hug him and hold his chubby little paws and play with him.
He is really into firemen and knights. For his birthday he got fire trucks, fire men, and fireman costume, a fire station, a knight on a horse, a book about knights…so many gifts. And he got a Georgetown basketball uniform from Meaghan and a cars puzzle from Siri. Everyone loves Teddy and is so nice to him.
When he came down in the morning there were balloons and presents waiting for him and a sign MJ made saying “Happy Birthday” with sports guys drawn on it. Teddy and Charlie loves the sign. For lunch I took them to McDonalds and then we had a pizza party with a cake I decorated with fire trucks.
And Charlie was so generous and patient and understanding about Teddy getting so many presents. Charlie got a few too, but he really was exceptionally good about it being Teddy’s birthday and was able to say “When it’s my birthday can I get the same fireman costume?”

I made him a cake with fire trucks on it.
