Just kidding. I just wanted an interesting Post title. So once again, flu season is upon us. Jude brought it home from Day Care. He passed it on to Grandma, Grandpa, and Dad. A few days later Mom got it. Then, on Thanksgiving week, Dad go the flu for the second time. This week we are finally healthy. We only are passing around a severe chest and head cold.
Enough small talk...Jude is doing great. He recently advanced to the Toddler 1 Room at Day Care. He was getting too big for the Infant 2 Room. The transition has been pretty good. He has been a bit more tired. The new room is more structured with activities and rules, so it wears him out. His teeth are really filling in. I think he has a half set by now. Just like Dad. He has been biting at day care. Apparently the girls tackle him and he gets frustrated. Again, just like Dad.
The communication gap is closing quickly. Between his signs and words, we are able to talk to him pretty well. This does not mean he listens or even cares what we have to say, just that he can understand us and we can understand him. He is starting to play pretend. He will push cars, talk to his animals, etc. His favorite toys are cars, footballs, soccer balls, and cooking utensils. We still have to play keep up all night and day, but he is giving us glimpses of some self reliance.
I have a lot more, but I guess I'm just going to get some pictures in here. I'll get a bunch more in after Christmas I'm sure.
