This kid literary keeps us on my toes and every way imaginable!! His memory is incredible, nothing gets passed him, and the things that he says keep us laughing daily! I wish I could remember all of them, but these are the ones that I caught this month!
- This kid LOVES broccoli (crazy, I know) but I switched things up on him and gave him cauliflower one day. I told him what it was and he said, no that's white broccoli and ate it all right up. Whatever he has to think to eat it!!
-He was playing one day and something happened that I can't fully recall, but he said, "Whoa, that could have been bad news."
- He was eating his waffle on the way to school one morning and excitedly said, "Look, a Texas waffle." Yep, he had eaten it in a way that it sure did look like the state of Texas!
-Again, I can't remember the context of this statement, but we were talking about something and he said, "I guess that's just the way the world works." I'm sure I said this at some point when we were having one of those "it's not fair moments."
- Any scrape, bruise, bite that any of us get he is always the first to say that "God will heal it" or "God healed it" every time. I love that He gives credit where credit is due, even in the smallest of things!
- From very early on this boy has had horrible allergies. They have been the worst lately, so we have to be sure to give him his nose spray daily. He is not a fan of this, and was trying to get out of it one morning and said very matter-of-factually, "Ninja Turtles don't have allergies, so I don't need that." Then another morning I told him that he wasn't going to be able to breathe all day if he did not take his medicine and he said, "Its ok, I'll just use my mount for air."
-He was eating dinner one night and found a crumb from a previous meal on the table. He picks it up and proceeds to throw it on the floor and says, "That's where old food goes, right?" I had to laugh because at any point there is always quite a bit of crumbs under our table, so he was kind of right!!!
-We were out to dinner one evening when Grancy & Pops were in town and an older man with a ponytail walked by. Jude asked who he was, and we said that we did not know him because he was a stranger and then Jude said, "No, that was a pirate!" We all died laughing because we could totally see how he could think that!
-We were playing over at Ethan's one afternoon and they had a play flip phone. Jude picks it up and tells us all to be quite, because he is going to go in the other room to take a work call. Seems as though he has heard this before!!!
-We were driving to Amarillo one weekend and had stopped at a gas station. Sam was letting Jude run around in a patio area to get some energy out and he tried to pick up an old cigarette. Sam told him not to pick it up because it was yucky. A few minutes later a woman came out and started to get a cigarette out and Jude points to her and says, "That's yucky!" She kindly said she agreed and Sam scooped him up and got him out of there before he said anything else!!!
-I was getting Jude dressed one day and he looked up at me and said, "Do I look like a super hero?" Always bud, always!!
-We were taking a walk one afternoon and went across a cross walk. Once we got across Jude says, "Hey, that's where the Beatles walked!"
-Lastly, I was very delayed in getting Jude's nails cut (they grow like weeds!!) and one day in the car he says, "I got the white stuff off." I was super confused until he held up his nail super proud of himself and said, "I bit it off!" I told him to not do any more and that I would cut them all when we got home and he said, "That's ok, I'll just bite them all off." Seems as though he inherited his daddy's horrible habit!!
Fun day with Mo visiting Thomas the Train
This corn-dog was bigger than him!! He had no problems finishing the whole thing!
Getting to ride his very own Thomas
Playing soccer at Klyde Warren Park
Sporting Superman, Ninja Turtles, Texas Rangers all in a tiny car with his potato masher!
Celebrating Jude's "big boy" 3 1/2 birthday!
He got some new privileges and some new rules!!
This boy loves a burger, and even more LOVES
eating a burger in the restaurant...he begs to go inside!
(Maybe it is because we hardly take this crazy kid out to eat and because we hardly ever get to eat like this!!!)
Showing me his plant that he planted with Mo on Grandparents day at school
Western Day!! Pretty cute cowboy, although you can't see his belt buckle!
In case you can't tell, that's a horse and his name is Coach Jason the Horse!
