Travel Town

Due to the overwhelming LACK of response to my last post, a.k.a my "non-Jude picture post", I've concluded my suspicion is correct... my xanga visitors are mainly interested in my offspring, not in me. That's okay. I don't blame you. I, too, find Jude much more interesting and cuter than myself.  

Last weekend, we had a chance to take Jude to Travel Town, a transportation museum. He thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the train ride... probably because he enjoys Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends.

Here he is having the time of his life with Kwang on the train:

And playing with Aubrey and Nathaniel...

  

When it comes to sleeping, Jude has always been easy. But for some reason, the last few nights have been unusually difficult. Although he'll reluctantly go "night-night", he'll cry once in bed. It's such a sad cry... it pains me. Last night, as he was crying in his crib and Kwang & I were debating what to do (we knew what we should do-- let him cry himself to sleep-- but what we both wanted to do was get him), I noticed through our video phone that he stopped crying, carefully arranged his animal friends, and then fell fast asleep. After watching a movie, Kwang & I checked on him and found that to comfort himself, Jude decided to arrange all three animal friends to lie specifically face-down next to him before falling asleep the same way:

I realize probably no one finds this as cute & funny as Kwang and I did and assume every parent finds their kid more amusing and adorable than anyone else. Sometimes I wonder if we're strange for laughing at our son as much as we do. But Jude cracks us up all the time. He brings so much happiness to my life.

(BTW, please don't mind the korean floral PJ top. It was a very nice christmas gift from his LA grandma. Korean PJs are the best.)
