Charles and Mom are back home now. Charles has been very happy since he returned, except for some frustration when Mom wouldn’t play a driving game with Charles. Very soon after getting home, Charles was closely reading his book of truck pictures. Then he gathered up some Hot Wheels and ran around the house being happy.
The big adjustment to being home is between Charles and Secant over the ottoman. I normally use it as a foot rest while I”m typing these at home, but I’ve given up trying to fight Secant for it. Now Charles is using it to put his puzzles together and he gets some what steamed when Secant jumps up and sits on his puzzle pieces. It should be quite the contest of wills.
Charles can now almost put the big fire truck puzzle together all by himself. Dad only helped on two pieces, which is quite good. He’s also started to sound like he trying to talk, rather than making random phonemes. He seems to be close to be able to say “this”, which would be a big step. He certainly seems to understand language better. Just try it Charles — since Corwin won’t ever talk with us it will be nice to have conversations with at least one child.
