Happy Birthday Charlie!

By Margot | August 11, 2008

Charlie is two today!  He had fun at his party yesterday and will open his family presents tonight when Neil gets home from work.  A few quotes from our little boy might give you some insight into his personality:

“Mom, what doin’?”

“I’m folding laundry Charlie, what are you doing?” 

 “I’m doin’  whoa!  Watz this!”  -launches self down steps two at at time while exclaiming, “Whoa!”

“Sim (Sam), Annie (Andy)  Wan play tackle?”  launches self at Sam and/or Andy laughing saying “Tackled!”

“Where my ten racket?” Asking for his tennis racket so he has one while we drop off his brothers at camp.

Sam to me, “Mom, look at what I taught Charlie.”  “Ready Charlie?”  Sam and Charlie both sit down on their skateboards with legs out front, put their arms around each other and go down our little driveway hill, saying, “Whoa!” while connected all the way down.

I can’t believe he’s already two and he can’t believe he’s only two.  He brings joy wherever he goes and has certainly brought joy for the past two years to every member of our family. Happy Birthday Mr. Baby! (Andy’s nickname for him).

Sam and Andy started tennis camp today and loved it.  Sam met some new friends in his group and Andy had Beau and Grant in his group.  The three amigos were very happy to be reunited at camp.  I was a little worried for Sam because he didn’t know anyone in his age group but had said he wanted to go.  When I picked him up, he had a big smile on his face and was playing tag.  They have camp all week this week from 9:30 to 12:30 (don’t tell our orthopedist-Sam’s ankles are fine by the way).  Sam has a blood check tomorrow and vision therapy at 3 after camp.   We restart chemo this week as well.

    I’m going to try doing some whoa! this evening. It sounds like loads of fun. Happy birthday Mr. Baby, from The Buengers

    P.S. Our Mr. Baby (a.k.a. Big D and Davey B.) leaves for Budapest on Thursday. I can still remember his second birthday clearly.
