My Peanut Butter Lover

 This little boy is a peanut butter lover through and through. He loves PB&J, apples & peanut butter, waffles/pancakes & peanut butter, and even celery & peanut butter. I had some leftover little packets of PB from travelling, so one afternoon I gave him the packet with his apples. When I turned around to check on him, this is what I found. He LOVES to dip his finger in the PB and get all of it out. He's too funny. I think I might have a Little Dan (my brother) on my hands in the future. Dan took a PB&J sandwich to school from 1st grade to 12th grade. I can definitely see Charlie following in his uncle's footsteps!

Brushing up on his reading . . .

I was on the phone the other day, and when I came into the family room, this is what I found. Apparently he is brushing up on his knowledge of breastfeeding to help Mom out when baby sister comes!

Sibling Silly

All smiles holding a baby.

 Tonight I took Charlie to a Sibling Silly class that they put on at the hospital. They teach siblings how to be a big brother or sister, and they give the kids a tour of the hospital so they know where Mom & Dad will be when they have the baby. Charlie did so good! The entire time he kept saying, "Where are the babies, Mom? Can we go see the babies?" When they opened the blinds on a window into the NICU, they showed the kids a baby. Charlie said, "I want to hold one!" He was pretty upset that he didn't get to hold a real baby. :) After the tour, each kid got to hold their own baby, and the teacher taught them how to ask an adult when they wanted to hold the baby, how to hold it correctly, and how to change a diaper. Charlie loved every minute of it. At the end they got a little bag of goodies and a certificate to show that they were ready to be a big brother or sister. It was so cool to see how excited Charlie was to be a big brother. The only problem now is that Charlie is ready for his baby sister to be here!

Graduating as a big brother!

Here's our little dancing man!

Just some fun pictures of Charlie having breakfast one morning. He loves to be able to sit on the counter every now and then, so I let him eat his cereal there while I made a smoothie. He's such a goofball!

Finishing off his milk... this is his favorite part!
