How to Charm Me
Henry, 27 months
1. Tell me, in breathless, painstaking detail, what you had for lunch at school that day when I pick you up. You know, the lunch I made you that morning. “I gotta peach, Mama! And noodles!”
2. Refer to the skin of the peach as the “wrapper” and the pit as the “pinecone.”
3. Announce your latest injury in terms of public awareness, not because you need me to do something about it. “I got bloods, mama. I okay!”
4. When presented with a favorite food, clap your hands and say, “I LOVE it!”
5. Tell me, “Mama? I a lucky boy.”
You sure are, Henry. We are, too.
What a nut. Yes, those are kid’s garden gloves, a firehat, a beaded necklace, a kid’s saw, a kid’s drill and a kid’s thermometer in this photo. And a giant hole in the foot of his pajamas. He’s clearly a multitasker with an ability to accessorize!

he’s so awesome
kids dressed up in their own finery are my favorite — they really know how to accessorize :).
He IS a charmer! I love it when my kids play dress up.
Anna, are your kids just awesome or what?
That would totally charm me too! He’s a cutie! ๐
That first shot is great. At that age, they could say just about anything in their cute little way and charm me!
I always love your “charm me” posts! They charm me, too. And that first photo? Love it
So cute! Dante loves to accessorize, too – I wonder if it’s a 2-year-old thing? I think I have a picture of him wearing my headband, Gabe’s sunglasses and my watch, and holding the frame of a springform pan around his waist like a hula hoop.
He is absolutely precious! That last picture made me smile on my morning commute this AM for sure! ๐
Wait until he’s in high school (or even sooner). He keeps this up and you aren’t going to be the only woman he’s charming! ๐
I love how serious he looks in that first picture; serious and handsome!
That first image is adorable – he could easily melt a heart!
He is ADORABLE! SO pensive in the first pic!
Oh, he charms me too! I love his accessories – he’s just too adorable!
Urgh. You are going to have the most amazing log of memories. Will you write a blog for MY family?
I love it! Mike is right though wait until he is a little older and he will charm other girls!! OH BOY!!
He.Is.Charming.

God, I love him.
How adorable! A great shot of who he is.
Goodness is he adorable. I love that he knows that he is a lucky boy!
There is absolutely nothing cuter than this little man. He has won my heart!
Oh my heavens, could he be ANY cuter?! Those eyes…oh, those beautiful brown eyes he has… Goodness, how can you ever say no to that face?!
Wow! That last outfit is killer!!! Could he be any more adorable?
Too cute!!
