My sweet Jude has been learning how to read since he was about three. We used the "Teach Your Child How to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" curriculum. We love it by the way and had great success with Jonah a couple years earlier. Because of his very inconsistent, on again off again momma. After many grueling months, and some tears (shed from both of us), at the still young age of 4, however, Jude completed his book. We planned on going for a date when he was finished. We had a great time!

I have to tell you, this kid loves dates. Who doesn't? He asks for them regularly, and even will tell us the dates he has planned for his future wife. Some of the conversation of the night is below, because I just don't ever want to forget. God has wired my little boy to be a romantic, who values marriage, and family and already know he wants to be a dad and husband someday.
- "Mom, lets go on a date. A date is just You and Me, and some food"
- "Jude, when you grow up what will you do on a date with your wife?" Jude, "I'll take her to the zoo to look at animals. And then I will probably get her some food."
- "Mom, a date is just for one boy and one girl, together. two girls hanging out is called girl bonding time." (I don't know where he got that from).
- When I tried to open the door for him he moved me out of the way to hold it for me saying "Mom, you never hold the door, that is the man's job".
I need to spend a lot more time praying for God's protection and shaping of Jude's future wife, and the shaping and protection of Jude himself. I have to say that whoever he ends up with will be a blessed girl and will be treated like a princess. (Though I know that God is faithful, and that Jude will be blessed to have her as well).
