Charles had acquired the habit of closing doors, particularly the doors upstairs. It’s been frequently the case for the last week to have every single upstairs door closed when it’s time for Charles to leave. He particularly likes closing the door to Alice’s room, or as he calls it “the baby room”. Once I’ve changed Alice in the morning or gotten her fresh clothes, Charles closes the door and then puts one of his signs in front while announcing “the baby room is closed”.
P.S. Charles is now sealing off other parts of the house. When Mom took Corwin to his violin lesson, she also packed up Charles and Alice so I could be home alone for a while. As he was leaving, Charles stretched one of his cloth ropes across the media room and announced that the media room was closed for the duration. He made sure that I understood that I wasn’t to go in the media room in his absence because it was closed.
