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.
- 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.
And more than that, I just love you.

So grown up! It really is a great stage when they've reached a bit of maturity. A little less labor intensive for parenting but more emotionally involved; more complex. Blessings no matter what the stage.
ReplyDeleteI just love him too. I don't know how but as soon as I see his face, and his brothers' faces, I just light right up inside and a huge grin pastes itself to my face.
