because I love this picture

Charlie, I love these pictures. I realized they were cut off in the collage.

a little updating

Charlie

So your Mommy has realized she really hasn't updated this blog with what is happening. . . So here we go.

In January and February you took a gymnastics class.

Here you are doing the bear crawl up two planks that "V". Gymnastics wasn't your favorite, but you really liked jumping on the trampoline at the end of class.

In January (?) we saw Sesame Street Live.

You loved it! You might have been a little upset Mommy and Daddy said no to getting you a balloon that had Elmo on one side and Cookie Monster on the other.

In February, your school had a breakfast with your sweetheart event.

The day started off with breakfast at your school. (Grandma joined us.) There was French Toast strips, sausage and pancakes on a stick, muffins, fresh fruit, and cinnamon rolls. You got a lot of complements on your red tie. After I picked you up from school, we had lunch at The Rock. You highly enjoyed your Sprite and cheeseburger. We sat at the counter looking out on the street, which you also enjoyed.

So what you have been saying lately. . .

"I am sooooo adorable."

My understanding is you were sitting at the table, while at school. You stood up and shared this information with your classmates. I am sure they have heard this before, either from you or an adult saying something like, "It is a good thing you are adorable."

"I am a pretty pretty princess."

So while at Jana's house, B convinced you to dress up in her princess costumes. (To be honest, the Tinker Bell costume is your favorite.) So someone (Jana or I) said something about how you were probably beautiful, and you gave that as your response.

"Keep um coming!"

You have been on a huge cracker run. You said this after we refilled your crackers for the second time. Apparently, you knew you would need more crackers.

"Relax Mommy. Daddy is in charge."

This was said as Daddy got you ready for bed and I was sitting on a chair waiting to read to you. Daddy informed you he wasn't in charge.

"I can be awesome."

Yes. Yes you can. This was just a random Charlie comment.

"You're freaking me out."

I got nothing. I have no idea why this came out of your mouth.

"Don't get me started."

This was said as I asked you about your day at school. . .

I heard that

Charlie, you can be very funny at times. Take bath time, going on right now. . .

Me: OK, take off your socks.

Charlie: I heard that.

You sit on the floor and start to play with a towel.

Me: Can you do that?

Charlie: I hope so. (You make a big production of taking off your socks.)

You so make me laugh.

Family Day 3.0

Charlie, today is your Family Day! You have been with us for three amazing years. We give thanks and celebrate the progress we have made as a family and all that is to come. We love you so much.

but I cute

Charlie, apparently at school today you had issues with talking when you should have been quiet. Mrs. L had to ask you to stop talking, you stuck out your tongue at her. You sat in the dugout. . .

So when I tried to talk to you about how this wasn't nice, you replied, "But I cute." You are cute, but this isn't something you should be doing.

back to school

Well Charlie, we both headed back to school today (Cue "Back to School" song in your head.) So apparently you danced into the building with excitement greeting your friends by name and telling Mrs. L, "Happy New Year!!!" So proud of you!

I am a little worried about your sense of humor. . . While going to the bathroom, you missed the toilet. You told whomever took you to the bathroom, "It was for Mrs. L," followed by laughter. Yep, not appropriate. I am hoping you thought because you made it to the bathroom and were dry, you said that and not because you missed.

car trips

So Charlie, you are not a fan of sleeping in the car. After two hours of fighting it, 20 min from home. . .
