Why I Already Fear Becoming a Monster-In-Law

Spring is here! And it feels exactly like winter... as well as autumn...

bubbles

But we love it nonetheless! I showed Jude how to catch bubbles without popping them. He has the time of his life with a fifty cent (not to be mistaken with a "fiddycent") bottle of bubbles, although you can't tell by the photo below because he is trying very hard to resist the urge to pop the bubble with his other hand while I take the pic. I'm a playtime killjoy, I know:

caught one

Here are a couple of cute things I've heard Jude say lately:

  • "Look at me, Ah-bbah! Look at me Kwang Ah-bbah!"
  • While sitting on the potty: "Uhm-mah, can you get me a magazine?"

What I find cutest is when we see how much he loves his family through his words. As we were leaving our friends' home last week:

  • Kwang: "Jude, should we take Matthew with us and leave Eli with Uncle Charles and Auntie Jean?"
    Jude: "No."
    Kwang: "Why not?"
    Jude: "I want my brother."

And while we were watching Charlotte's Web and Jude laughed at a scene with Dakota Fanning:

  • Kwang: "Jude, do you like that girl?"
    Jude: "No." (pausing, thinking, and then pointing at me) "I like that girl."
    Me:

The other week, Kwang's cousin told me she saw a teddy bear in a store that reminded her of Eli.

so cute, as always!!  it's so great that you have all of these memories of your kids.  i totally miss when my niece was eli's age and i get upset at my sister for not having recorded those many precious moments b/c she was too lazy, too tired, or just plain didn't think to.  this is also why i take so many pics of them... i don't trust my sister to do it.  :)
man, whoever jude ends up bringing home later in life is going to have a hard time being #1 in his life!  ;)  kwang should have said, "no, I like THAT girl, you need to go find another one b/c i already found lisa uh-mma for ME!

i can not wait to see eli/jude!  you better start priming eli's cheeks now!  =)  and of course lis, can't wait to see you too!  and maybe even kk.  jk!  of course, we want to see kk, the one who stole you away from us!  just kidding not.  =P  eli eating shows the meaning of true contentness.  so so satisfied and happy!  understand you on the fear of being a mil...as i always have stated, i fear for how i will be as a mil.  you never know what will occur in you, but i have witnessed that something happens you...this mil switch goes on out of no where!  miss/love you guys!
