Charlie Sings!

Charlie has discovered his true talent – singing! All day I asked him to sing to me and he did. He would finish each song by clapping for himself and saying “yay”.  However, when I brought out the camera he got stage fright. Check out the video section to see Charlie being silly.

A Cloudy Day On the Farm

Charlie spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa Dobry at the pumpkin farm.  We visited a farm in Bolingbrook that was complete with apple cider donuts, a petting zoo and pumpkins!

Charlie was (of course) drawn to the animals. He loved feeding the donkey, the goats and the rabbits. After feeding the animals and taking a train ride we took Charlie into the children’s area that had two bouncy houses and a slide. Charlie had a blast! We left the farm with an apple pie and three pumpkins, so despite the weather Charlie had a great day. There are more pictures in the photo gallery - Halloween 2011.

Charlie's Obsession

Charlie rarely sits still, he is an active boy. He rarely watches any DVD for longer than ten minutes and most he does give most DVD’s the time of day. But that has all changed with Elmo! Charlie has a new obsession with all things Elmo. He wants to watch his new Elmo movie several times a day (we are averaging 3 to 4 times a day). When he woke up from a nap earlier this week he pointed to the door and said, “Elmo” which means “I want to go downstairs so I can watch my movie”.  For the first time since Charlie started crawling, I can unload the dishwasher in peace while he watches Elmo and has a snack.

Thank you Elmo!
