I think teddy is beginning to actually pay a tiny bit of attention to the babies.

During a nap the other day, teddy climbed out of his crib and up on to the changing table and attempted to change his own diaper using wipes and all.

Teddy made me drive all the way to Chevy Chase wearing a fire helmet and pretending to be taking him to put out a fire.

Teddy will not stop running for the street. It terrifies me. Two days ago he ran up the street and when I said stop he darted in between two cars and went running down the middle of Dent Place. What am I going to do?

I overheard Charlie saying as I woke up this morning “The lacrosse players are visiting a bear.” I wonder what that’s about.

I currently have 6 tiny nappers in the house (C&T, my twins, and visiting twins). I am in total heaven with the cuteness of this.

Today I was driving carpool and at a stoplight on Wisconsin Avenue, the trash truck driver on the right of us was trying really hard to pick up the lovely lady to the left of us. He was leaning out the truck yelling “Hey baby, what’s your number? What’s your number?” Charlie asked me “Why isn’t he asking for your number?” I said I didn’t know. Then the guy jumped out of the truck and ran over to her car to lay it on thick and get the number. Charlie then said “I know why he needs her number. He wants to call so he can pick up her trash.” Good thinking. We then smiled and wished the guy luck.

Teddy thinks all fireman are fire chiefs, anyone in a military-inspried coat is a police officer, and that the guy working at the hardware store in an old REdskins jersey is an actual football player.

Carol, Siri and I took C&T to a skateboarding competition at RFK the other weekend. They loved it. Charlie wanted to skate so badly. He was really interested in the skater kids and their clothes. He said “I can skate so high over that building in skinny jeans.”

Teddy was afraid of a man dressed as a bottle of Vitamin Water but was really excited about seeing a police officer. We went to talk to Officer Jenkins and it turns out he knows Hon John from the courthouse. Small world at these skating events.
