Charlie has become VERY talkative in the last two months. He is really opening up. He's also sprouting up! We had a well-child visit for him two weeks ago. Last year he was in the tenth percentile for both weight and height. This year he was in the sixtieth percentile for height! (And the 30th for weight... so he's still a skinny guy.) He's 40 inches tall, but I swear he may have grown more in the last two weeks. I'm trying to figure out what to do because we can't move him to a booster seat until he weighs 40 pounds, and right now he's just pushing 34... but height wise, he is too tall for the car seat. What a dilemma...
Anyway, it's been really fun to watch him changing in these couple of months. I especially like some of the things he tells me. Just a couple of days ago we had this conversation.
Charlie: "Mommy! There's monsters in the bushes!" ("The bushes" he speaks of is actually our downstairs bathroom/laundry room... when we play hide and seek he always hides in the bushes.)
Me: "What kind of monsters?"
Charlie: "Mean, SCARY monsters! So I cannot go in there!"
Me: "Oh no, what are we going to do?"
Charlie went and ran around the house 3 times, which is another current favorite activity, and then ran into the bathroom and ran back to me.
Charlie: "Mommy, it's okay! They don't eat food!"
Me: "Monsters don't eat food? Then what do they eat?"
Charlie: "Chocolate milk!"
Apparently, monsters are not dangerous if they only drink chocolate milk. And about one minute later I heard,
Charlie: "Mommy, I'm a mean and SCARY monster!"
Me: "Well then, I'm glad you don't eat food!"
Charlie: "I need some chocolate milk! GRRRRRRRR!!!"
Well, it was breakfast time, but I gave him chocolate milk anyway because it was just so darned cute. We have similar conversations several times a day now... I wish I could remember them all!
