When Charlotte wants something, not even a 75-pound dog can stand in her way. The dog can, however, just sit there.

In the second video, Charlotte shows why her blanket procurement was so urgent.

Much like James Cameron did for Avatar, Charlotte has invented a whole new language for story time.

(Little Miss Typist managed to hit the “Num Lock” key — a key I didn’t know existed, and therefore, how to switch back off. I was picturing a long afternoon at the Apple Store. She finally showed me what she did. We had a good laugh afterwards.)

A little pre-bedtime banter between the baby and the dog.

Here Charlotte attempts to create the perfect wall collage with Yo Gabba Gabba stickers and with no help from the dog. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder tendencies are cute in babies.

Inspired by tonight’s figure skating—and using Chinese couple Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo’s music—Charlotte and Bailey treated us to an interpretive dance. In some parts of the performance, Bailey is less of a partner and more of a pommel horse. She gets the gold for putting up with this.

Charlotte was playing with her dolls this morning—I just kind of let the camera roll here. One thing to watch for is how quickly she abdicates her parental responsibilities when she sees something good on TV. I’m worried she learned that from me during the NFL playoffs.

If you didn’t know what a monkey does or what a dog says, or you want to hear a duet featuring about 30% of the alphabet, watch this clip.

Charlotte wanted to lend a hand with the laundry. Her idea of helping is crawling into the basket, unballing socks, then getting all defiant when you ask her to stop.

The clip was cut short by a raucous dog, who had to be removed from the set. After a few minutes, Charlotte let her back in.
