Awww Happo

Jude has this hippo.  For whatever reason, he thinks this hippo is crying.  Everytime he finds it, he says 'awww happo cwying'.  Then he gives me the hippo.  I have to pat the hippo and make him feel better.  While I do this, Jude says 'aww'.  Then I give the hippo back to Jude.  He gives the hippo a kiss.  Then he hands it back to me and the cycle starts over.  He could play this game for quite a long time.

Also, lately I will ask Jude for a kiss.  He will smile and say no.  Then I pretend to bawl my eyes out.  He gets all concerned, comes and sits with me, and says 'aww'.

I die.

On a totally unrelated note- Jude pronounces 'Thomas' as 'Chamain'.  Don't know how he put that together.

My Sweetest

Jude and I both officially have the flu.  However, prior to him getting sick, I just want to get out some of the sweetest things.  For being 15 months, he seems to get empathy well, at least with me.  I was laying on the couch yesterday morning feeling miserable.  He came up and brought me one of his favorite books.  I set it down, and he just looked at me with the sweetest face and said 'no?'  Then he just cuddled up in my lap and held my hand.  Such a sweetheart to try to make me feel better.  He is such a gift sometimes!
