yesterday's moments

I have two favorite moments from yesterday.

1. Jude found a feather on the floor of my room and brought it over to me. I told him to blow on it and it flew delicately into the air. His smile cracked wide. We spent the next thirty minutes lying head to head on my floor, blowing the feather up and up into the air, watching it float down onto our heads or into our hands.

2. During snack time, Jude and I took a box of crackers into the front room. I sat on the floor in front of the couch and Jude sat on my lap facing me. He pulled cracker after cracker from the box, always supplying one for my mouth and one for each of his hands. Occasionally he would grab the cracker from my mouth and take a bite, and then stick it back in. Half a cracker box later, cracker crumbs cover both of our shirts and we're both signing, "all done."
