Chuck D & Mr. T

Today both babies were crying in their car seats and Teddy showed some sympathy and said to me “The babies are crying cause they want you. Stop and get them.”

I know I am his mother, but I think Teddy is really smart. He looks at a situation in real life or a book and takes it much further. For instance, I will say “No more cookies tonight,” and Teddy will say “Because then they will be all gone and you will have to go to the store and get more and it will take a long time.”

Teddy can now sing songs. He likes singing along with me to the Winnie the Pooh song, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and Ring Around the Rosie and he adds “paboom” after “they all fall down”

I call Teddy “Ted-a-lokey” sing a song
Ted-a-lockey
Ted Ted, McTed Ted, McTeddy
Ted-a-lokey, Tedd Tedd, Teddy McT

Tonight he said as we are some fruit, “Pineapple for Ted-a-lokey and Mommy-lokey.”

The girls are learning to crawl up the stairs. Oh no.

Charlie likes to pretend he is going to bite me or one the babies but then gives us a kiss instead. So cute.

I think Scottie and Nell are begining to associate “Dada” with MJ and “mama” with me. They both know their own names.

Scottie loves loves loves shaking her head no. She also loves waking Nell up. I watch her poke through the crib to wake up Nell who is only too happy to get up and play. Then they stand
Up and cruise along the side of the crib looking at one another and playing with one another’s hands. I’m sure they will learn to climb into the others crib before long.

Nell says “mmmm” when she eats.

Teddy loves his new Star Wars Lego underware so much that he wants to have a second pair in his hands to sleep with. “need a pair to hold”. He also has started wearing a pair over his pull up to bed.

Charlie is on the train to NY with MJ for Hannah’s bat mitzvah. When I told him yesterday that he couldn’t go to soccer class today because he would be going on a trip, Teddy piped up “I want to go to Marthas Vineyard!”
