Among Jude's favorite actual toys are those pretend plastic lawnmowers. We don't have one (yet) but there are a few at our church nursery and at the children's museum near our house. He's been known to go wild and push two around at the same time.
Kara wonders if that's where he got the idea for a new use for our folding outdoor Ikea table.

Jude also loves to play with food boxes. We discovered this in Baltimore when he had laugh out loud fun carrying around two boxes of Stovetop stuffing. He liked them so much he kept searching for the boxes when Grandma or his parents put them away. Back home in Oak Park, Kara pulled out her stuffing containers, a coffee can and a mac and cheese.
Jude the builder
Jude tried shaking them for awhile but then he figured out they also worked as blocks. Kara was just happy he was grabbing something other than her cellphone, keys, or breakable objects.
mommy tells me this is a developmental milestone?
The one flaw in the plan was that Jude figured out how to open the mac n cheese box and spilled a few pieces. A little packing tape solved the issue. It seems like we better keep that packing tape handy for the next few years!
I vow to conquer all childproof latches!
