Jude is a fun, high-maintenance kid. He never runs out of things to say and loves to interrupt adult conversation. Often he’ll interrupt just to interrupt and when he is acknowledged he might say, “Nevermind” or “I forgot” or “I thought you’d never stop talking.”  We’re working on that. Jude loves playing in the front yard and riding bike. He always hopes that his friends from across the street will see him and come outside too. He hates coming inside and always whines or cries when it is time to come inside. Jude loves to play “pow” with foam swords and catch with various objects we find around the house (e.g., we play catch the ketchup with fast food ketchup packets). Jude enjoys wrestling and getting spun around, reading, writing me emails at work asking me if he can have a treat (getting an email from Jude is always a highlight of my day), playing computer games, watching “English shows” rather than the German cartoons that he normally watches and making messes and not cleaning them up.
