It's hard to believe that it's been four years since I stayed up all night curled up with a blanket in my rocker reading a good book while drinking hot cocoa and eating a whole bag of my favorite iced animal cookies (and not realizing I was in labor). He is our artistic free spirit that dances to the beat of a different drum. He loves bright bold colors and patterns on soft silky fabrics. And he lives up to the name of moneky very well. He's curious about everything and rarely sits still. He's got a surprising strength hiding in those skinny little arms of his and can pack quite a punch as his brother has discovered to his dismay. He has changed and grown so much in the last few years.
He's grown a lot, although, he's still our skinny little monkey.
He's 35 pounds and 34" tall
He still has no butt but his pott belly is smaller.
The beautiful copper hair he was born with is now a strawberry blonde.
He's still my little hypochondriac.
His favorite colors are orange, green and purple
He loves magic, and likes to dress up a lot. For Halloween he was a witch (wizard) and he chose a wizard bday party.
He loves listening to books
He's very enamored of a small felted green creature named Grasshopper.
He learned how to pedal his bike this year.
He can count to 10
He loves to color and draw
He's learning how to write his name
He's very independant and loves doing things for himself
He has moved three times
He loves music of all kinds, but especially enjoys opera
He also loves making music and will daily choose an instrument from the basket. He often choose a harmonica or reede whistle.
He's very inventive. Just the other day he used the end from the teapot spout for an inpromptu whistle to add harmony to whatever song that was playing. He did a great job (and I never realized that little thing could work as a whistle)
Happy birthday dear Charles,
We sing now to you.
