Julie left work early and was home when Joe woke up from his nap. It was great because lately, Julie has been missing Joe. She is so often nursing Clara and while Julie wouldn't trade this time with Clara, it limits her time right now with Joe, who is getting bigger every day. Just yesterday, as they walked out of daycare, when Julie asked if Joe wanted to hold her hand as they walked down the hall, Joe said "Do self?" (he would do it himself). It was simultaneously thrilling and heart breaking to see his independence.
So Julie was excited to be home when Joe woke up. When he started to stir, she crept into his bed the way Ted started to do in the morning when Julie was on leave and upstairs with Clara. Joe took his time waking up. He flipped on his back, pulled his shirt up, and lazily scratched himself all chimpanzee like. Ted said he looked like a rock star after too much partying, and he did (especially in the Chewbacca tee).
But this, Fans, was the best: the first thing Joe said when he finally spoke (as he carefully pointed to his left nostril) was: "There's a booger in there."*
*Please imagine booger in an Irish brogue, because that is what it sounds like when Joe says it.
1. Love the belly shot, Joe.
ReplyDelete2. It's much better than a point to the bottom and a "There's a poop in there."
