Calculator

Just now, 7:55 p.m. 10/10/2011 Charlie just discovered the calculator. It’s amazing, he knew the + and the – but he’d never seen the X and division. Really cool as he tested out what he knew on the calculator.

The real numbers threw him for a loop though. Don’t think he realized its like the money.

Very cool as he discovers. Now forget about the log, ln, and so on.

It turns out that this calculator used to be Tante TTs. It has never had a new battery put in it and of course, he took it to bed tonight.

cold

After a doctors appointment the other day it turns out that Charlie’s cough is just a cold. He had a fever initially and we ended up keeping him home for Friday and Monday but even today he’s still tired and coughing.

Him and his brother play well together and Charlie sure likes to push little Aidan’s buttons when he can. Aidan follows him around mostly and mimics everything he does.

They both like to keep an eye on Julie and scream her name when she cries in the car. Charlie especially keeps a close eye on her and doesn’t like if anyone leaves her alone

Aidan fell on top of Julie by accident the other day during the day and Eileen called to let me know. He cries not because he’s hurt but because he realizes he hurt her. He even tried to explain it to me when I got home as well. His facial expression along with a hand motion while he said her name gave it away. It was real cute because how much it affected him as well as how he wants to communicate now as well.

Yesterday we registered with the Chicago catholic francophone http://ccf-chicago.org/ that runs out of Saint Teresa’s church. He had a blast running around with the other kids but since it was dinner time and pretty close to his bedtime when we were there he was exhausted. He wanted me to run with him the whole time.

The 5 p.m. English mass was going on as well so he enjoyed seeing the piano player in there when they started. It’s a small nice church.
