Charlotte

Charlotte is 2 and a bit now (well, 27 months to be precise) and she is one of the funniest people I know. Her favorite things are:

1) Her Ella. Every day when she wakes up - "Where's my Ella?" Luckily her Ella dotes on her as well.

2) Her dolls - baby and her new doll, "my doll". Apparently names are not one of her likes. She sleeps with Baby, her doll, her Shamu book, her baby beluga book, her Minnie phone, her turtle and her blankies ("my two" as they are called).

3) Her pink kitty rain boots. It doesn't rain a lot in LA. You wouldn't know it judging by her daily footwear. Dresses and her boots, preferably on the wrong feet. Pick your battles...

4) Jokes. She is very silly and really likes to say silly things. Her current favorite is to say very quietly one...two...three...(then so loudly MARY POPPINS! Then, amidst gales of laughter she shouts, I called you Mary Poppins!

5) Docious. Speaking of Mary Poppins, Charlotte would like there to be one song in the world and it is Docious. Also known as Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Thanks to the broadway version of the song both girls can (almost) spell the word!

6) My phone. She really loves calling people on the phone. Gaga, Papa, Soup, Kait and Nana have all been on the receiving end of a Charlotte call.

Other Charlotte tidbits -
She tells us her name is Charlotte Cinderella Disneyland Walsh.
She can count to ten.
She has decided to start wearing big girl underpants and uses the toilet - and has been doing so for about 3 days with just one accident, all of her on volition.
Her favorite activities (and the ones she would like to do all day) are painting and playing in the sink with the bubbles.
She calls swimming "souping".
