Thankful for Charlie

I want to try to post this week about the things I'm most thankful for. Charlie was really sick last week. The sickest I think I have ever seen him. Anyway, he's feeling better now and I decided to do a post in honor of his health! This is a picture of his recent pictures. The photographer was laughing about how he looks like a little man and joked about him running for office one day. Anyway, Charlie is the sweetest little guy. Just this morning, I was upstairs getting ready and he & Rachel were downstairs eating breakfast. He called up to me that he was finished eating so I told him to come upstairs and see me. He said no so I asked him why not and he said, "'Cause then Rachel will be down here all alone and she'll get lonely. Come down and get her too." He's very thoughtful and I think it's so cute.
I had a few errands to run today and CJ met me at P.F. Chang's for lunch. It was yummy! But the big surprise was that Charlie is a pro at chopsticks!
CJ showed him how to hold them and he just picked them up and ate all of his rice with them. I couldn't believe it! I can't eat with chopsticks and it was hilarious to see Charlie doing it like he'd done it all his life. I think he was as good with the chopsticks as he is with a fork.

I'm so glad he's feeling better and for the ways that he teaches me to think about other people and their feelings.
