Jude is a very nurturing boy. Most of his imaginative play involves kids and parents; he loves to tuck in stuffed animals and then order us all to be quiet while they sleep. He is very sensitive to discouragement and quick to offer kind words.A game of hide-and-seek recently showed me the other side of Jude. I found Sam and Jude hiding under some blankets and they came out growling their scariest growls. "We're dinosaurs!" they yelled.
Jude: "I'm a velociraptor!"
Sam: "Me too!"
Jude, still growling: "Yeah. Our babies are missing. They're in a sandcastle. WE ATE THEM!"
