Jude - July

We had a great month of spending time outside, traveling to see family, and spending some quality time together. Jude is becoming such a little boy and my baby is slowing disappearing. He always makes sure we know he is a big boy and tells us he doesn't need to do things because he's big. For instance, "I don't need to hold your hand in the parking lot because I'm big!" He has always been quite the talker, but lately he is narrating everything for us with such detail. You can just see the wheels spinning at 90 miles/hour inside his little head!

-He sometimes gets his words mixed up. He will often say "the next one" when he is referring to another one or the other one. He also always asks for two when he wants more than one of something, like it is the universal word for multiples!
-We have entered the stage of "What's that", "Where are we going", and "Why"! Usually repeated over and over and over! Right now, I am still enjoying it because its just a sign that he wants to learn!
-He likes to pretend he is going to work like daddy. He will put on one of his ties or tie bib out of his closet and then go pretend he's typing on his night stand! I'll tell him he needs to go to bed and he'll say, "No, I can't...I'm working."
-He has started to let us know that he's "funny" or "silly"; more often than not its when he has done something he shouldn't. (Maybe I won't get in trouble if they think I'm funny...ha, good try!!)
-If you ask him if he wants to do something that doesn't sound fun to him, he'll say "Not today" in the funniest voice!
-Not sure where he heard this, but he has started to say "no problem" when asked to do something!
-At night he likes for us to tell him Jesus stories. He's still a bit confused on how all of this stuff works and will sometimes get offended when you being to pray..."No, that's my Jesus, you can't pray to my Jesus!" He then tells us that we each of a Jesus that lives in our hearts. We're working on this!!!
-He likes to use multiple adjectives when describing something. The most common is when he says "so and so it kinda a little bit" or "sorta kinda a little bit".
-Its hard to keep a straight face when he is getting in trouble and you ask if he did something..."Jude, did you hit your friend?" "Yes, I did" with the most serious confident tone. Well at least we aren't dealing with lying yet!
