I asked Charlie what he wanted to give Teddy for his birthday and he said, “Baby formula.” It’s the thought that counts.

I went to change Teddy on the other room and when I came back into the kitchen the freeze was open there trains in the ice drawer and Charlie was eating ice cream sandwiches.

This morning we were watching Kevin’s new video. Charlie loved it as expected.

C: “Kevin come my house?”
He noticed Kevin’s white electric guitar and said of his own acoustic guitar he was holding “This tar bad. Bird pooped on it. Need new tar.”
As we moved from the studio shot video to live shows, Charlie asked of the video girls “Where girls dancing? Like girls dancing.” Great.

Tonight C & T went to see MJ play lacrosse. They loved it. C kept saying he was going to to “play men’s luqwoss college!” On the way home he also said “Play luqwoss Monday you sit on seats Teddy in stroller watch me play luqwoss. On Monday.” The he seemed to invent some lacrosse chips and when MJ asked him to describe them he said “After game eat chips. Put hand in bag take one chip put in mouth!”

I have decided to be all Tipper Gore and ban rap with explicit lyrics for the time being after Charlie happily said “F*#%* cheese!” today. I told him he can’t say that and asked who told him that word and he said “Daddy.” I knew that wasn’t true but realized it was probably the CDs that have been in the car. I hope he doesn’t say that to anyone else.

After taking C&T to Clemyjontre Park at about 7:30 am, C asked “Get haircut?” So i took them to the barber shop and T got his first haircut. He sat on my lap and had fun playing with the satiny cape. He did not complain at all. He got a certificate and the barber gave Charlie a quarter to get Skittles out of the little windy machine. They were thrilled.

I’ve been giving T Tylenol occasionally for his teeth. Charlie really wants some to so keeps pretending he needs it by saying ” My teeth hurt,” “My leg hurts,” “My stomach hurts need medicine too!” Here is Charlie drinking a “milkshake” he was promised after going to the doctor.

Teddy wants to badly to join in whatever Charlie and the big kids are doing. And to be held by his father.

He also likes to go to Ikea with Carol.

The past couple months Charlie has really been feeling his age of 2 and a half. He was so emotional, easily upset, and discouraged a couple of times a day every day.

Me: “Charlie do you want apple juice or water?”
C: “No!!!!!!!!!!!!”
But then last week, it was like a cloud lifted and he stopped having so many meltdowns and went back to being the best Charlie he can be almost all of the time. And it was like he understood how to do more, say more, and understand more. Instead of screaming when he asked if he wanted to try a new dish, he actually tried it. And when we said don’t bite your brother’s foot, he said “Ok.”
