States

Charles has been learning the states at school, and he found our map puzzle upstairs. He has been studying it and asking about the states. Somehow he knows Mickey Mouse lives in California (even if our California is lost off our map), and he surprised me this morning by pointing to Kansas (without me saying it was Kansas) and saying Kansas is Wizard of Oz. I'm blown away!

Carrots and Thomas

For Easter this year, I took out my little terra cotta pots for serving hummus with baby carrots. I was able to get the boys to taste the hummus, and "yay!" they like it! In fact, Charles could be said to love it. He now asks for it by name, begging for "carrots and Thomas" for snacks. He says, " I really like Thomas."

Professor Charles

Charles was given a hand me down suit, but we had not put it in him as there has not been an occasion for one. I had left it on the ottoman in Charles's room until I could decide whether to donate it or not. Well, Charles found it tonight and put it on saying he is Indiana Jones as the professor. So cute!
