Bonding Time With Jude.

I would be remiss to not document these bonding moments with Jude - the ones that inevitability happen right smack in the middle of a meal (just when I sit down after serving the second helping of food to the kids or refill a spilled cup of milk): "Mama! I have to go poop!!". Why always during mealtime?

We race to the bathroom of Jude's choosing (did I mention that the new bathroom is rounding completion? I'll have to post pics of that - it's the one Jude is in these photos) and he begins to assault me with questions or just tell funny little stories to pass the time. "Mama? When is Papa coming home? What is a fireman? Why is he gone for so many days? I haven't seen him in so long! Mama? Where does poop come from? Why do we eat blueberries?"
He pauses to think what he will say next.
You'll notice he has bed head and pj's on here, which means it was during breakfast.
Jude really is a different kid when we hang out alone - more social, more sweet, less competitive. It's amazing how siblings bring out the worst in him sometimes!
And I want to remember sweet little pictures like this - where his hands don't reach the water yet. I'll be sad in some ways when he is big enough to reach all by himself.
