loves the blondes--missing Mema

At drop-off for William in the mornings, Charles will give the biggest smiles to the blonde mommies.  There is one in particular who is expecially sweet and bubbly, but Charles does seem to notice the blondes.  It was at a party last Sunday, though, that I started to think there may be more to the blondes than just their hair.  A heavier set blonde woman was at the party and sat down in a chair near Charles.  When Charles turned around and saw her, his face broke into the biggest beaming smile and he reached for her almost as if he recognized her and was happy to see her.  Did he think she was Mema?  Maybe he has more memories of her than I thought.  He hasn't had to fight through the sadness of her being gone because he doesn't understand what has happened, but he did seem really happy to see someone who looks similar enough to her return to his life.
