what makes someone...

A couple of months ago I had a conversation with Jude that I couldn't resist writing down. I came across it today in my journal and remembered that I wanted to record it here. Jude had come up to me while I was reading a book on the couch (a rare, but treasured moment!) and told me that I was pretty. It was ironic because I recall feeling rather frumpy at that time.....jeans, greasy hair, no makeup.....so I asked him "What makes someone pretty?" You know what his response was?! He said "a pretty dress and lipstick." Both of which I was NOT wearing. I proceeded to ask him a few more questions....

What makes someone kind?
When they're sharing or caring.

What makes someone special?
Being a ring-bearer (this was two months prior to his job as ring bearer in Matt and Libby's wedding)

What makes someone happy?
Going to a parade or the jungle (of course!)

What makes someone sad?
NOT going to a parade or the jungle and just staying on their couch.

What makes someone tired?
Going for a long drive.

What makes someone friendly?
Talking to grown-ups

What makes someone handsome?
Wearing cowboy stuff and Spiderman stuff

I loved Jude's responses. He turned FOUR a few days ago and I've got a birthday post coming for him.
