In the mornings of late, Joe makes his way upstairs with Ted after his two-bowl-of-Cherrios-breakfast-of-champions* and patters around. Usual activities include application of (Julie's) deodorant (initially, he would put it on his face; we have since learned it goes under your arms), putting clothes in the hamper, tapping on the computer's keyboard, and bringing toys to Clara (who by that time is usually playing on the floor in front of the mirror). The other main activity is helping Ted pick out his tie. The choices are always seriously considered. . .and then the same tie is selected every day--the burgundy with dots Ted is holding up here in the second picture. We wait with bated breath to see if one of the other options is ever chosen.*Ted filed a report from the field indicating that after a long stretch during which the "Honey Nut" and "Brown" [chocolate; but you know that Loyal Fans] were mixed together in the same bowl, Joe now prefers both, but in separate bowls. It was a fraught moment the other morning when Joe was trying to communicate both (as in both Honey Nut and Brown), but not both in the same bowl. Must teach Joe the word "separate."
