Jude at four

Last Thursday Jude turned four! Already?! I know I say this every year and maybe I'll keep on saying this every year until I die, but so far Jude is my favorite age that he's ever been. He's curious and bright and funny and now we can carry on long conversations and he can go to the bathroom all by himself. It just keeps getting better! I am over the moon that I get to mother this incredible child. 

Jude at four:

  • Wants to be an actor on tv and a train engineer.
  • Has so much energy! He's go go go go all the time, but he sleeps in until 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning and still naps in the afternoon so I'll shut my pie hole and stop complaining. 
  • His favorite color is blue, specifically "bright blue".
  • Likes to dance and run and practice sports (mainly kicking a soccer ball, putting, and hitting a ball off a baseball tee). 

He's a riot. Here's just some of his quotable gems lately:

I think burps come from your skeleton. When your skeleton gets uncomfortable or something.
— Jude and human physiology
That looks like a baby in your belly, but it’s really just food.
— Jude, last night, keeping his mother humble
I have hair on my legs. That means I’m ready to be a daddy now.
— Jude, pondering impending fatherhood
