I like to joke that by the time the 3rd kid rolls around, we moms are much more relaxed ... ie., "Honey, put the knives away when you're done playing with them!". There are also 2 built-in playmates for entertainment. Maybe this is why I feel Charlie is an "old soul", and, not to be morbid, but when he first looked at me as a newborn, I had the uncanny feeling that he will be holding my hand when I die (no pressure there, Charles, it's just one of those woman's intuition things that can actually just be chalked up to hormones or too much coffee that day!).
Charlie is artistic, sensitive, and thoughtful -- more a gentleman than a macho-man, which I think women in particular find quite refreshing. He has donated his hair to "Locks of Love", donates blood regularly, and the hug he gave me during one particular meltdown was Everymom's greatest reward.

Here he is, earlier this year, having miso soup for breakfast in Tokyo.
