Last summer Teddy and I walked into a store in Oak Bluffs and he picked out a small white stuffed rabbit that he has slept with every day since. He loves this rabbit and hlds it by it’s little tail. It is filthy. We have a back up in the closet just in case the original gets lost, which it did yesterday. I handed Teddy the replacement bunny and he threw it across the room. Luckily the original was found later that night.

About a month ago I donated an extra fire truck of Charlie’s that he never played with to BabyLove. He saw it going out the door and asked what I was doing. I said we were giving it to children who didn’t have any firetrucks. The other day he said out of the blue “You better find some children to give me a fire truck because now I need one.”

Charlie: The sun is in my eyes.
ALB: Ok, close your eyes until we drive past the sunny parts.
Charlie: Just move it.
ALB: The sun?
Charlie:Yes.
ALB: I can’t move the sun.
Charlie: Why?
ALB: It is in the sky and I can’t reach that high.
Charlie: Get a ladder.

Two weeks ago we were in LA. Charlie and Teddy loved staying at Isabel’s (and they adored Isabel and Nico), watching surfers, playing on the beach, drumming at the Remo drum warehouse, going to the Getty Villa (where C declared “I hate jasmine”), and seeing Jenny, Peter and Alice. At the farmer’s market they got to ride ponies and Teddy almost lost his mind with excitement over 10 baby bunnies he could pet. Depite both throwing up on me in the plane they were amazing travelers.
Charlie was also really into the Captain’s rules for the plane and on the flight home asked “Captain says not to put fingers in your nose?”
The day we got back was Valentine’s Day so I decorated for them for breakfast.

Last weekend we took Charlie ice skating. I was going around the rink holding his hands (he was doing a very good job of learning). Teddy was hysterical about not getting to skate so MJ just took him out on the ice in his sneakers he held his two little hands and skated him around the rink over and over. I’m shocked they didn’t get kicked off the ice. Teddy had never been so excited in his life. I wish they made skates for one year olds.

Charlie, ever observant, heard people talking to me about twins and asked “Are more babies coming?” So I said yes, two, but not for a long time. First he asked me if they were going to be brothers of the twins Jacob and Oliver. I said no, they would be brothers or sisters or his. Then he asked “Why do you want more babies?” Then the other day he said “I’m gong to be nice to the babies in your tummy. I want to kiss them. I won’t bang them.”
He also said “We’ll call them ‘sugar babies’. That’s a nice name.”

Charlie has asked me almost every day for the past week “What number am I turning on my next birthday?”
He also talks all the time about his “college friends” and how they play basketball, soccer, and football. I asked him who is college friends are and he said “John Wygman, Bosche,” and some other name I couldn’t quiet get. Where did he come up with these names?
We also have a former college basketball player as a babysitter right now. The first day he came, Charlie immediately said to him ” I have college friends.” Then, “Why aren’t you wearing a uniform?”
