Dad, save me from Mom's bad TV navigation!

Charlie is learning new words at a pretty good pace, now that he's kind of figured out what words are for.  Some of his vocab comes from day care--either the teachers or his friends, I guess--so it's always kind of a hoot when he trots out something new that didn't come from us.  Today's surprise word is "help." 

Me: Ok, here's a choo-choo video*
Charlie:  Noooo!
Me: You don't like this one today? Ok, let's pick a different one. (start scrolling through other videos)
Charlie: Nooo, nooo, choo choo!
Me: I'm going as fast as I can, hang on, I'm going to put on a choo-choo, promise!
Charlie (yelling to Mike, in the other room): HELP! HELP!


*Go to youtube, search for "railfan," and be boggled by the number of choo-choo videos.  Charlie gets 3 a night. He gets to veto a couple of choices since he generally has a specific one in mind that he wants to start with, and can't say which one it is.  So we spend some time guessing.

oh oh oh oh I love this story with a wild, unholy passion!

I am telling you that I am heartbroken that your son is at least 40 years too young for me to have a major crush on. He sounds like my kind of man.

:) He is one in a million. We feel so lucky to have such an entertaining kid, on top of his more important virtues.
