Les Bonnes Choses

Jude is spending much more time interacting with his daddy. We can often be found playing with his die-cast cars from the Pixar movie of the same name, which is what happened tonight. He's a creative little guy. For example, rather than play directly with me, he wanted to play cars with Kesswick, his stuffed bear, who was, of course, animated by me during the following scene:

Jude: Crash!
Kesswick: [rolls the car back]
Jude: [stands] *thhhppb*
Me: Jude, did you toot?
Jude: Kekkik
Me: Kesswick tooted?
Jude: Yep
Kesswick: [looks on, mortified at the accusation]

Of course during all this Kesswick didn't defend himself, partly out of loyalty to his buddy Jude, but mostly I think because he's a stuffed toy. And I wonder whether that might be why Jude blamed the bear. It'll only be a matter of time before he takes plausibility into account and starts blaming his aunt Pretty.
