Recently we celebrated a very special boy turning TEN! He loves animals, so we took him and a few friends to The Dunham Farm in Burleson. They got some VIP time with capybaras, wallabies, a Patagonian Cavy, some emus, and baby pigs.
Jude continues to impress us with his thirst for knowledge and incredible memory. He loves geography, and I mean really loves it! We play a geography board game for fun, he asks to play a geography app on my phone, and he watches YouTube videos about flags. Like...by choice. He has memorized the flags of more than a hundred countries and knows almost all the US state flags. He has learned all the capitals in the Americas and Europe. He is becoming a trivia buff (like his parents) and asks to be quizzed when we're at dinner. He still loves AJR and knows the words to almost all of their songs.
He recently completed a soccer season, likes to play pickleball, and is about to start a basketball season. He tied for first in his 4th grade class spelling bee and moved on to the school-wide bee (4th-6th grade). He got sick the morning of the school-wide bee, but didn't want to miss it. He assured us he was fine so he could go to school and participate. Unfortunately his body didn't cooperate and he had to run out in the 4th round to throw up! Poor guy didn't get to finish, so we'll never know how it would've turned out. I have a feeling he would've come out in the top 3 though, because he nailed all the practice lists he was given.
