Charlie is getting real good at the online gaming sites. He recognizes the "action" games and has figured out how to navigate most games, get them working despite the constant barrage of advertizing, and figure out the keys he needs to press to do his stuff.
His all time favorites are the aircraft gun games and watching him play is hilarious. First he's pretty good at it but he has a constant watch over his shoulder because he knows that at any moment Mom could walk into the room and ban the games. She does not like him playing games that involve guns and he is keenly aware and has prepared speaches on how a game might be just throwing objects or other things he hopes she might buy into. Me? I help him navigate if I have time and otherwise bring him to some of the more interesting ones like starwars.com and jeux.fr.
As bad as it is, a few times I've seen him do Ninja fights with swords that I even agree with Eileen are not right for a 4 year old but what the heck, I don't think he processes that stuff the way we do.

Wa Wa Woobzie...finally in French
Every day I come home Charlie insists on giving up information on things he did that he knows I wouldn't be happy about. This is pretty much 100% of the time the fact that he watches some English TV when the rules of the house are clearly french only (Eileen..are you listening?).
Anyways, tonight he was beside himself, he knows I don't like his favorite show wa wa woobzie (not sure what that thing is) but its english only so I refuse to let him watch it when there's plenty of good french TV on our media center.
Anyways, it turns out that Target had 2 DVD's of this stuff in English and French. Strange it wasn't translated into Spanish but boy was he happy. Eileen mentioned he watched 2 hours straight of it today.

Libby the Dog
Libby was over this weekend and Charlie loved her. I think the most fun he had was when he could get her to chase him. Of course, this involved PaPa because he's still not completely comfortable with dogs. He likes them but if they bark he backs away.
He loved having her around and like to keep his eye on where she was the whole time. In bed he setup a little wall with his blanket between her and him. I'm guessing a bit of a safety barrier. At the same time when she left the room he was sad.
Even when he was sad though, he didn't feel comfortable enough to insist that she does what he wanted so it was an interesting relationship to watch.
