Charlie has been feeding himself using a spoon and fork totally for about 2 weeks now. He can even get peas on a fork. Long noodles are eluding him though.

C is also doing two new very mature things:

1. asking for the sports page every morning–when the paper comes in he immediately says “the ball” so that he can get the sports section and look at photos with basketballs in them during breakfast.
2.i forget

Charlie just had a really nice dinner at his current favorite restaurant, Murasaki. He loves the food (gyoza, noodles, rice, tempura),  people who work there, the whole scene.

Today was Charlie’s first real snow day. Liberal leave policy was in effect so he went to the park where he played with the dogs, fell a lot, got totally covered in snow, and figured out how to walk in boots.

Oh, and he also went to the barber for his first haircut. He cried. His mother cried. It isn’t the best haircut but I told him it will grow back. Luckily, I can totally sympathize.

The past week has been so much fun for C. He went to his Aunt Johanna’s wedding to Barclay, a Mardi Gras Party, the zoo, the Pompeii and Dutch Cityscapes exhibits, dinner with his Uncle Greg, and Armand’s Pizza with his friends Roco, Nola, Ruby, and Emerson.
