Nearing Christmas...

A normal wake up time this morning for Charlie, he was up at 7:30 a.m. He was super wet this morning and must have been weighed down by it all ;-)

Good and hungry I got him his usual bowl of wheat cherios with a sprinkle of raisons and some raison toast. It's his morning staple and I join him with my own raison crunch.

Last night I had burnt his Little Einstein video onto the hard drive and was able to pull up the french version real fast for him to watch while I got breaky ready. That's one of the main reasons I got the new Vista Media Center was to get all his shows on the hard drive in order to pull up french shows as fast and painlessly as normal recorded shows. It was just too easy to throw on english shows recorded from the TV than to put in a dvd and select the french menuing system (a five minute ordeal with all that FBI gunk and menus we are forced to watch). While I'm on the topic I'm glad now I'm ripping those DVD's because I hate the way the force you to look at previews and their advertising for 5 minutes before we can get into the show. Next I've got to figure out how to burn just the french show on that hole DVD since it takes up a lot of space for all the rest of that stuff...but I digress.

After breakfast, Charlie, Tante TT and I went to the Kohls stored which is attached to the Best Buy so we were good. He held on to the Cars DVD the whole time we were in there and he cried when I pulled him away from the portable phones, he loves to hold two up to his ears at a time. I'm teaching him to say Bonjour and Mushi Mushi (Japanese way of answering the phone) and man, that's funny how he says that. It's not really close but it sure is funny.

He slept for two and half hours today and I joined him in the last hour of that myself. Well rested and ready for the rest of the day.

Turns out he stayed at home with Eileen while Na Na and Tee Tee and I went shopping on the mag mile. We didn't have lots of time since Eileen and I were meeting Pete and LeDawn Gries for super on the mag mile at 5pm.

Now Charlie's asleep in his crib listening to the ocean waves on his little wave machine. Good Night Sleep Tight.
