Teddy’s current favorite activity is pointing, a la the Creation in the Sistine Chapel.

Yesterday Charlie “graduated” from Blue Igloo. I cried.
Last week their babysitters Grace and Mariel graduated from Georgetown. I cried.

I ordered a custom tee shirt from Cafe Press. I think their address label machine is broken because the mailman just showed up with about 30 packages that other people had ordered and they were all accidently send to me. I had to open all to find the one that I had actually ordered. Among your standard “Great Dads are promoted to Gradndads” and “World’s best cousin” tees and “Sherri is moving to Las Vegas” thongs, were some real gems like the “Science. It works, bitches” tee shirt and the series of really offensive political shirts. I now know that Cafe Press needs to fix their labeling machine and that there are some totally insane people out there buying tee shirts in really large sizes.

Charlie asked me to help him put some cards away in his room then said “Thank you Mommy helping me clean up. Good job. Big mess.”

Whenever I walk by a flowering pear tree, the smell makes me think of Mama and Dada’s house.
Whenever Teddy walks down the street, he stops to smell the roses.

Yesterday morning, right after we got back from jogging and stopping to hear Dikembe Motumbo speak at Georgetown’s graduation, Charlie fell and hit his eye and I had to take him to the emergency room. Luckily he was fine (except for a huge black eye making him look like he got in a bar fight, except that he is 2 so you know he didn’t) and was sort of excited to get to go to the hospital and to get the treats I kept giving him to keep him happy while waiting. Unfortunately my hostessing track record was not fine as the accident happened right as I was getting ready to have a baby shower for Jeannie at our house. I had to run out the door with Charlie, leaving Teddy and imminently arriving guests with Carol who had to order Ledo’s pizza to serve since I couldn’t make the food.
On the upside, Jeannie got cute baby gifts, we still made it to Charlie and Teddy’s babysitter Mariel’s graduation party, Charlie can tell everyone is he really tough (and I won’t tell them that he asked if Teddy could go to the hospital instead “No Charlie go. Teddy see doctor get better?”), and he showed off his shiner at Nola’s birthday party.
On a side note, Charlie refuses to take off the Georgetown jersey Grace gave him.

Charlie has been saying “Me no like it” about things he wasn’t into. He now will not stop saying “Me can’t like it.” In addition to talking about what he doesn’t like (dinner, monsters). He has also been talking a lot about what people like. Often he says “Mommy love logurt [sic],” “Teddy love baby food,” “Huck love dogs.” That sort of thing. Yesterday he said “Mommy love hot dogs and beer.” surprising because he has probably never seen me have either (sadly).
