Tuesdays with Charlie | Camera Shy.

Ha! so remember last week when I wrote about having a "ready - and most often quite willing! - subject for Tuesdays"? I think I might've jinxed us. or maybe Charlie's just going through a new phase.

I picked him up at 7am. That's still dark early here, so we had to walk Holly together. Two miles on the greenway made me (and Holly - because squirrels!) happy. But Charlie didn't have a smile for the camera.

A few hours later we were at Avalon. all decorated for fall (and no, we did not buy any pumpkins today). "Wave to your mom?!" and nope.

Later still, he was helping me get dinner ready for Poppa. He loves being tall at the counter and I thought I might get it then.

um nope.

So imagine my surprise when I turned into his neighborhood this evening. "Turn right there," he says. I do. I drive up to the stop sign and ask which way. "That way."

yep that way. that smile. finally.

Happy Tuesday!

Bonny said...: I look forward to Tuesdays with Charlie, even when he is feeling a bit camera shy and reticent. (I'm with him 100% on not being ready to smile at 7:00 am!); Tuesday, 04 October, 2016
Martha said...: You are a very understanding and loving Gram. There's no place like home some days. Blessings to you and your sweet family. I love your blog (and knitting).; Tuesday, 04 October, 2016
Carole said...: I'm always happy when I get home at the end of the day, too. Charlie is adorable whether he's smiling or not.; Tuesday, 04 October, 2016
Kym said...: Such a sweetheart . . . smile or no! XO; Wednesday, 05 October, 2016
Lydia said...: I guess he wanted to do it on his own terms-cause you know he IS a big boy! I remember PJ's first real sentence was "get in the car" when it was time to leave for day care. Too cute.; Wednesday, 05 October, 2016
Debbie said...: What a sweetie!; Wednesday, 05 October, 2016
AsKatKnits said...: I love it! And, I learned last week how wiggly a toddler can be! And, how fast - lots of blurry pictures or looking where?? Haha!; Wednesday, 05 October, 2016
margene said...: You've got quite the boy. Charlie is getting a mind of his own. He's such a handsome boy.; Wednesday, 05 October, 2016
alexa said...: Ah! What a lovely young man ... You're lucky he's only a little camera shy. My eldest grandson is at the pull-a-face and I'm-doing-bunny-ears stage.; Wednesday, 05 October, 2016
Honoré said...: Amazing sense of direction! And that smile was worth the wait! Thanks Charlie.
Cheers~; Wednesday, 05 October, 2016
Nancy said...: I wonder if being picked up instead of dropped off (by his mom) had something to do with it ... new routines and all! So cute either way.; Thursday, 06 October, 2016
