Love for only one?

Putting both boys to sleep last night, I started laughing when Charlie told Brandon "you love mommy." I asked Charlie who he loves, and he said "I love daddy." I explained to him that Brandon and Charlie can love both mommy and daddy at the same time.

He looked suspicious.

"Brandon, I'm busy."

Charlie is something else. He is developing some real attitude. After a couple of months of standard 2-year-old sensibilities concerning toys--i.e., they are all his, despite Brandon clearly showing which belong to him and in fact have been in his possession for longer than Charlie has been alive--Charlie has now decided that when Brandon won't give up his toys, he will just play by himself. Last night, he turned his back to Brandon, and when he went to play, Charlie said "Brandon, I'm busy." Well yes! Where he got this one I just don't know.

He also identified some letters this week--that was a surprise. Colors are coming along really well too.
