Yesterday morning, right after we got back from jogging and stopping to hear Dikembe Motumbo speak at Georgetown’s graduation, Charlie fell and hit his eye and I had to take him to the emergency room. Luckily he was fine (except for a huge black eye making him look like he got in a bar fight, except that he is 2 so you know he didn’t) and was sort of excited to get to go to the hospital and to get the treats I kept giving him to keep him happy while waiting. Unfortunately my hostessing track record was not fine as the accident happened right as I was getting ready to have a baby shower for Jeannie at our house. I had to run out the door with Charlie, leaving Teddy and imminently arriving guests with Carol who had to order Ledo’s pizza to serve since I couldn’t make the food.
On the upside, Jeannie got cute baby gifts, we still made it to Charlie and Teddy’s babysitter Mariel’s graduation party, Charlie can tell everyone is he really tough (and I won’t tell them that he asked if Teddy could go to the hospital instead “No Charlie go. Teddy see doctor get better?”), and he showed off his shiner at Nola’s birthday party.
On a side note, Charlie refuses to take off the Georgetown jersey Grace gave him.
