T loves books more than anyone I have ever seen. He is always sneaking off into Charlie’s room to look at his books. Anytime he can get his hand on a book he does. And he really likes long stories like Madeline.

The snow this winter has not been that great–not as much fun as last year. But Charlie picked icicles off the railings…Teddy helped him shovel.

Anytime you say “Who wants to…?” Teddy yells outs “Me!!!” It is the cutest “me” I have ever heard. And he is so enthusiastic about doing whatever it is you are asking about.

Today is MJ’s birthday! We had waffles this morning, with a candle in them, and sang happy birthday to MJ. Teddy did a great job of handing gifts to MJ and Charlie did a great job of opening them. We love MJ so much. We hope he has a really fun birthday!

MJ and I saw the Capitols which made MJ happy.
We also got to see a Georgetown basketball game which made C&T really happy.

I told Charlie that we were going to have an au pair come to live with us and that it would be an older girl from another country who is really fun and loves to play with him. He had his own ideas…

C: “Ok, let’s have it be a soccer kid.”
ALB: “I don’t know if a soccer kid could take care of you and Teddy.”
C: “Ok. A soccer kid and his mom.”

Charlie talks about his bunny class friends all the time and asks to go to school constantly. Tonight he told me that next time he wants to sleep at school with the other bunnies. “It’s ok mommy.”

Charlie went skating for the first time on Saturday. He went around and around with MJ, holding his hand, sometimes balancing sometimes not. He seemed more interested in snacks afterwards with his friends.

Teddy on the other hand, screamed and banged his little hand on the plexiglass, trying desperately to get on the ice, so MJ skated him around the rink one time, holding Teddy in his arms. Lucky they were not kicked off.
Afterwards they got to go play on AU’s basketball court with their friend Molly.

Every time Teddy finds a clump of Huck’s shedded fur on the floor, he very helpfully picks it up and places it back on Huck.
