Anna/Charles

 We went to Toys R Us today for their free Lego kit, and Charles made his way to the Frozen aisle. He found the Anna costume and began begging for it. I told him he had to ask Daddy. When we tracked him down, Charles eagerly led him back to the Frozen aisle. Soon I heard sobs and Daddy reappeared carrying a hysterical Charles without the costume. Tonight, we are watching Toy Story of Terror that we recorded this morning. They had a Party City Halloween ad with the Princess costumes. Charles had me rewind it so he could see Anna. He again said he wants to wear it. He continued the argument by stating, "It fits."

Little monsters

William and Charles picked out their Halloween costumes this past weekend. William in a minion complete with fart gun, and Charles is Mike Wazowski with the green fuzzy slippers we found a few weeks earlier. Perfect!

Wishing

Charles is studying the newest Fisher Price catalog and dreaming of all the possibilities.

Anna & Elsa

We took Charles and William to see Anna and Elsa today at a special event at ACE Hardware to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. William said the trip was not a surprise, and Charles said he was scared. He loves Anna! He begs to watch Anna in her movie and on tv on Once Upon a Time, but today he buried his face in my chest and covered his eyes when we tried to get a picture. We waited a bit and tried again, but he refused to look at them. When I turned his body to the front, he shut his eyes to avoid looking at them. When we left, he again said he was scared. Daddy asked if he was shy, but Charles said no, scared. He was scared of Elsa. I think he was afraid she would freeze him!

Mommy Seaman

Charles has taken to "reprimanding" me or getting my attention by sharply calling me "Mommy Seaman!" I guess he has learned the double name means business.
