his name is steve.


i was listening to NPR while driving to my parents' house with the boys.  there was a man being interviewed, and as he spoke about his area of expertise jude piped up from the back seat: "who's talking?"

"a guy," i replied. "i don't know his name."

there was a brief pause.

"his name is steve," jude said, deadpan and matter-of-fact.

i smirked to myself.  "oh, really?" i said, accommodating his make-believe world.

seconds later the woman conducting the interview said, "well, thank you steven for speaking with us..."

oh for heaven's sake.

On a little more serious note: while reading WITH Jude today, not sure who was more engaged - him or me! He does seem to have an uncanny retention ability, What a treat to see all of you again! We pray that Theo keeps growing and eventually you'll all get some much needed rest!
