Chuck D & Mr. T

I took Charlie to the toy store down the street today to pick out a present for him to give Teddy. He was very thoughtful and said “Let’s get him a fireman coat,” which is exactly what Teddy would want but I had to explain Johanna already got him one. At the store Charlie found a soccer sticker book and when I asked if he thought Teddy would want that he said “Um, yeah, sure.” (his standard affirmative answer). Then he found a playmobile firefighter figure and said we should get that. Upon further thought he said “Well, Teddy cane have the hose and axe that comes with it and I can have the firefighter.” So hard to give.

Doctor: “How old are you?”

I took Charlie and his friend on an errand with me today into a little boutique-y store that sells china and house wears. Remind me not to do that again.

Charlie gives the babies kisses all the time. He is really very gentle.

Every word I say that is not in Teddy’s vocabulary, he repeats to teach himself. So smart.

Whenever I correct or get mad at Charlie, Teddy says “Sorry.” Teddy is so sweet.

Teddy used to say to me “Up pease,” all he time to get me to pick him up. Since I couldn’t pick him up, I’d say let’s hold hands. So now he says to me “Hand, hand,” and puts out his hand. So cte. I love holding his hand.

Charlie was telling me tonight that he was afraid of bad guys. I told him not to worry too much because he would be safe and to remember that Hon John helps make sure the bad guys are locked up. Charlie said excitedly “John is a hero!! He is a hero!”

Since our new car is in the shop (3 days after we bought it) I have been driving a rental mini van around. Not so sure about this…

Teddy got his hair cut today and looks great. He was so good sitting in the barber’s chair.

He also got two his his toe nails painted red. I was painting Scottie’s big toe so people can tell them apart and T insisted. It looks so funny on his cute chubby little foot.
