Both boys need a haircut. Maybe by the coincidently named Teddy Charles, “hair shape expert.” Hmm…they are very good about having their hair cut, especially Charlie.
It is really sweet how T&C have their own relationship with one another and really get each other laughing. I love it. And it is fun to spend one one time too of course. I love them. Really, there is nothing better in the world. Even when I’m frustrated with them or tired, I am astonished by the endless amount of love for them.
Today they had a really good time climbing on furniture at at the Mitchell Gold store in the morning and then collecting acorns with Mitzi in the afternoon. Then they were both thrilled to get a mini ice cream sandwich for dessert. Charlie negotiated a 2nd half of one by eating a fish stick.
The other day Charlie said for the first time “I’m so mad.” when he was frustrated with something. Teddy was apparently also mad because he tried to hit Charlie. Uh oh.
Charlie likes me to sing him “Rock me mama like a wagon wheel…” has I rock him in his chair at night.
Teddy has been crying so much and so clingy the past few days and I kept thinking teeth but then thought just tired and then today two teeth popped thru. Poor little guy. I wish I had been more on top of it to help with the pain.
Charlie still doesn’t say much about school except “Mommy drop me off.” And he makes a joke to my question, “Who did you play with?” replying “Not any friends.” and smiles slyly knowing he’s funny.
Charlie loves looking at the moon and keeps asking me to sing a song Mitzi taught us:
It is amazing how well behaved the boys are when they are with me one-on-one…
