Children's Museum
Once again, I hit the jack pot and scored a library pass for the Children's Museum. I am not sure why, but the museum is much more enjoyable when it is free! Charlie loved riding the pretend digger and climbing up to the rope bridge (which still makes me hold my breath). There was a new water exhibit and we could not get him out of there, even after he was soaking wet. There are more picture in the July -September photo album.

Charlie-isms
For months I have thought about writing down some of the things that Charlie says because we are often shocked by what he says and how much he knows. Tonight was a perfect example of why his statements need to be recorded. Matt started a list a few weeks ago that we are trying to keep updated, but tonight was so funny I had to share.
Since Charlie started school I always ask him when I pick him up what he learned that day (something my dad asked me even through graduate school). Sometimes he tells me about a friend or a new song and sometimes he says nothing. A couple weeks ago he starting asking Matt and me what we learned on that specific day. Tonight he asked me what I learned today and I said, "I learned that I love Charlie very much". (Yes, I already knew that but it seemed like a good answer). Then I asked him what he learned and he said, "I learned that I am the best Charlie ever". Where does he come up with these things?

He is pretty great!
Monkeying Around
We stopped at the library today to pick up a few books that I had placed on hold. I told Charlie we needed to stop and he asked me if he could get a book to bring home and read. (I never realized he had made the connection between the library and books). We walked into the children's section and saw a huge Curious George stuffed animal. Charlie sat down and said, "mommy take my picture". He rarely lets me take a picture of him and even more rare is to actually get him to smile for the picture, so I jumped at the chance.

More Calamari Please!
A new pizza restaurant opened down the street from us a few months ago. We have spent a few Friday nights there and every time we are there we order calamari and try a different pizza. I thought all kids love pizza, but not Charlie. This past Friday, he showed us once again that calamari trumps pizza when he devoured half of the plate.
