Chuck D & Mr. T

Scottie can literally make any sound. Today she had a book in front of her and started making sounds like she was reading it. Amazing.

Scottie took her first step in the kitchen just a few hours ago. I’m beaming.

Teddy has begun asking us to leave him alone in the bathroom explaining “need energy,” by which he means privacy.

Charlie helped me pick out flowers at Johnson’s and make an arrangement for Mitzi’s birthday. He is a great assistant.

Charlie, Teddy and Oliver spent the morning at the Air and Space museum. They were only
Interetested in space and not the old airplanes. I let them each get some gummy shuttles and an little astronaut.

Nell just took a step and a half. I’m so happy for her. She also worked very hard to try to get her bloomers on herself and successfully got on foot in. A big day for her. Here she is putting on a hat.

Yesterday Teddy asked me to sing him a song about it being ok if you drop something.
Don’t worry if you drop it
Mommy will pick it up
Don’t be sad if it falls on the ground
Mommy will bring it around

Last night we couldn’t find Huck. Finally MJ spotted her in our neighbors house where they were having a party. They had invited her in and even put her on a leash.

Margaret, the babysitter across the street took Charlie and Teddy to play with ted lacrosse goal in their back yard. A dream come true.

I took Teddy to Full of Beans today and I looked away for one minute and when I turned back to him he was totally naked in the middle of the store, holding a bathing suit saying he wanted to put it on. When I said he had to get dressed he went crazy. The only way I could calm him down was to buy him the bathing suit. It is really cute, with crabs and coral on it.

Later, when we were on Columbia Road buying a Mexico soccer uniform for Sarah’s Cinco de Mayo baby, Teddy started crying because he couldn’t get one since I didn’t have enough cash. He looks so cute and sad when crying that people on the street were stopping (as usual) and a man came over and said he would help us pay for Teddy’s jersey (he accepted my credit card at his store down the street and gave the jersey vendor cash for me). Teddy was thrilled.
