Saving chocolate and secret pockets

After Jude's spring/Easter party at school, Jude apparently tucked away and saved a Lindt truffle in his "secret pocket" which is really a small velcro'd pocket above his hoodie pocket. I didn't find out until later that evening when he walked up to me with a melty truffle wrapper saying, "it melted! I put it in my pocket, but it melted!" Poor guy was a little disappointed but I thought it was ridiculously sweet that he had saved it for later.

The other day we were coming home from somewhere and when I went around the car to get Blaise out and opened the door, he was fake sleeping with eyes closed and snoring and a faint smile on his face. What a kid! 19 months and acting already! 

Creepy things my kids say

Snappy one liner

I had a friend over helping me with a sewing project and Jude was sitting beside me punching out scalloped circles with the shape puncher. 

He was doing some half circles and showing them to us and being his usual hilarious and animated self and so my friend said, "Oh yeah you can help us by doing them all round. We need them to be perfect." 

And Jude said, "lots of perfect circles, coming right up." 

Parent-Teacher interview

Today in an interview with Jude's teacher she recounted when she overheard the boys talking to each other about girlfriends and was just about to break it up when one boy asked if Jude had a girlfriend. He firmly said, "Yes! I do! My Mom is my girlfriend." 

So cute. Love him.

Also? I learned that he has never spoken like "J" from his class while at school. He is always talking like this particular boy in his class who talks a little babyish and with a much more pronounced speech impediment than Jude. When Mrs. F heard Jude say something to me in that voice and I said what I usually say, "I want to hear Jude's voice, not J's." And she was sincerely shocked that he does this; and so frequently! 

She got him to promise her to talk like himself when he's at home and I hope he does. But what a little stinker!
