Little Big Man

Jude, I love that you are a big enough boy to:

• Help with the vacuuming.
• Help your little brothers with their chores and coats
• Help Daddy at work once in a while
• Pull your brothers on the sled
  
• Watch Lord of the Rings with us
• Learn to play Settlers of Catan with us
• Start the van (Command start!)
• Read The Fantastic Mr. Fox, James and the Giant Peach, and Nicholas Nosh at Sea all by yourself, to yourself.

But I also love that you are still a little enough boy to:

• Want to cuddle up next to Mommy on the couch at night while we read together.
• Want to exchange "what I'm thankful for today"s every night before bed.
• Want to give me a hug and a kiss before you go to sleep.

Sometimes you drive me crazy, but mostly, I love the stage you are in.

And more than that, I just love you.
