Oh goodness, Jude. You're hilarious and fun and often times ornery and contrary. You are stubborn like a mule. It's taken me almost a week just to post this because you wouldn't answer the birthday questions. You also took some convincing to let us measure your height. Your laugh is one of my favorite things to hear, maybe because you are serious so much of the time that it feels like a treat. When you are happy, everyone knows! And when you aren't happy, everyone knows!
Very impressed by the fire eater show.
And the joys of bows and photo props and birthday parties.
Not impressed by fields of lavender and wild flowers.
You want to be a big kid so badly. You aren't old enough for real Tae Kwon Do like your siblings but nobody can convince you of that, you do the moves from the edge of the room while watching.
You love your dad and run to find me when he comes home everyday yelling "My daddy is home!" and when you wake up and ask if he's at work and I say yes, you just deflate. You were blessed to have him home much more than the bigger three thanks to Covid and I'm glad but its a bit heartbreaking to see you miss him every day.
You love church nursery and our the first of my kids to run and play there without a look back. You are so excited to start preschool this fall and when we walk by the school, always ask "is it time I go yet?" and get so disappointed when we say "not yet." I'm not quite a ready for this big step but its only 2 mornings a week so I should be able to survive. Speaking of survival, I've not always been sure I would survive your second year but we made it! Let's see if three is any easier! But even if it isn't, I wouldn't trade you for the world!
Loved the horse ride...not so much the bridge viewing in the same town.
