My Two Charlies

Shortly after Noah fell in love with Charlie I might have mentioned to Nana that it would be a good thing if we had a "back-up" just in case something happened to the original.

I might have told her that Noah loves to run his fingers through Charlie's hair and pull out the yarn {we now have Rasta Charlie}.

I might have told Nana that Noah hates Charle's Peter Pan collar because it gets in the way of his face.

Well...Nana is not one to disappoint and a week ago she introduced us to Charlie Two.He is definitely an updated model...hair intact, seams intact, face clean, Peter Pan collar and stench removed.
After the initial introduction, Noah would have nothing to do with Charlie Two. He would sign Charlie, shake his head NO, and then sign Charlie again. After several days, however, Noah came to tolerate the New Charlie. He still knows the difference between his beloved Charlie and the Newbie, but he loves to have both around him. In fact, he now INSISTS on having both Charlies with him at bedtime. Too cute!
