1. He loves trouble. The bigger the better. If he sees a look of sheer terror cross our faces, he is all the more likely to repeat the behavior that elicited that look.
2. He is a talking machine! Loves to discuss his day, his books, his bobo bear, and his brother in particular. Sometimes he just repeats things that mama and papa say. It is adorable to say "Oh dear." and hear a little echo say "Oh dear." and on and on and on.
3. He can't say Callum so he says "Cama".
4. He can say MINE! and very well.
5. He has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh. He laughs at Callum splashing in the bathtub and at jokes on movies or just silly facial expressions. His laugh is fantastic and full-bellied and contagious.
6. Every night as he walks to the dinner table he says "Jude no like it" in anticipation of disliking dinner. It's a bit unsettling to hear that every night after working hard in the kitchen. Luckily he often eats at least a little bit of dinner.7. Speaking of food, he loves crackers and almost nothing else. We keep an assortment of goldfish crackers and a dozen others on hand at all times. The one exception to this is pesto, of all things. He devours pesto pasta like a fiend.
8. He loves a mess. Painting isn't any fun without a little on your face and hands and clothes. It is a good thing he wears mostly hand-me-downs.9. His favorite movie is "The Great Muppet Caper" and he is crazy about Miss Piggy and the Swedish Chef.
10. He is our boisterous little guy, full of energy and joy and life. In love with his brother and eager to grow up. But, we are holding on to 2 for now.
Happy nearly Birthday baby!
