Charlotte has missed all the little girls her age back in Utah.  In primary, there are no  girls in Isaac’s class and she’s the only girl in her class.  So the closest girl in age is in the class one year younger than her and ironically that girl’s name is also Charlotte.  If that wasn’t enough of a coincidence, the other Charlotte’s birthday is the day before my Charlotte’s birthday (Charlotte C = 12/14 /05 Charlotte H = 12/13/06).

Anyone who knows my Charlotte knows that she loves her name.  For a long time, the phrase you’d hear her say the most was “I’m Charlotte.”  The day she severed her thumb, we knew the pain was relieved when she looked at us and said “I’m Charlotte.”  So you can only imagine her excitement to meet another Charlotte who happens to be close to her age.

She announced to me the other day that she wanted to write a book about Charlotte coming.  She choose paper the color of the sun and came up with the text all on her own.  For days she would make comments about the other Charlotte regularly.   She’d say things like “the other Charlotte likes pink too.”  Today, after Charlotte H left, she said “Jesus accidently made two Charlottes.  One is four and the other is three.”
