I am so serious about this blog that I signed up for mobile blogging! In fact, I am writing this post from my iPhone... Watch out world!!!!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Charlotte's daycare has been doing various activities throughout the week to to celebrate 'The Week of the Young Child' (WOYC). The purpose of the WOYC is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet their needs.  The fun activities span between school and home and have included some of the following:

• Brittany and I decorated a cardboard cutout of a child and made it look like Charlotte
• Charlotte learned about children in other countries and what they eat and play with
• Take your child to work day (which included me taking a cut-out of Charlotte's hand to work)
• Family story time
• Blowing bubbles outside and taking home a balloon

Today is the last day of the WOYC and they get to either dress up or talk about what they want to be when they grow up. While Brittany and I thought for sure that Charlotte was going to be a princess, she actually took in her Fisher Price play doctor's bag (complete with stethoscope, syringe, bandaids, etc...) because she wants to be an animal doctor!!!  She loves her stuffed animals and always talks about Zoe's vet too.  In fact she told me this morning that she wants to make animals not be sick anymore.  I found that to be extremely profound; however, what impressed me more was the fact that she said she wasn't going to take care of tigers and wolves because they had sharp teeth.  She will instead take care of elephants and giraffes because they won't bite. LOL!!!

3rd times a charm, right?

After digging through my emails at work, I stumbled across the link to our 'Life with Charlie Girl' blog. After wiping off the cobwebs and dust, I perused through the 41 posts we have made over the past 2+ years and really enjoyed reflecting on the past. Especially now that Charlie Girl is a very mature 3 years old. It was extremely enjoyable to look back on how little she was and how much she has grown. So I decided it was time to give this thing one more shot. I quickly emailed Brittany and she was kind enough to inform me that I have only made a couple posts over the life of the blog. So I guess it is now my turn to give writting a shot.... however, as I sit and write this, I have a strong recollection that it was Brittany's idea to start a blog and not mine. One of these days, I am going to learn how all the wives in this world can get us men to do stuff we don't want too. LOL!!!

So there it is... all dusted off and ready to go. I will work on making updates about Charlotte in the very near future.

Peace and hairgrease....
