Smooth Operator

We witnessed the cutest thing today at church. Church was crowded, so this adorable family (The Spackmans) sat right next to us in the little pew. Thankfully the Spackman's have a three year old boy (Jude) to keep Abby busy!! Now this isn't a normal three year old boy... he is the kind of little boy every Mama wants! Well behaved little Jude sat and played with Abby. Now Abby is usually very protective around other children when it comes down to her toys and especially her beloved snacks! But this was an unusual encounter with a playmate.... Abby adored him. She shared her sticker book, her lace up thingy majigs, and most important her SNACKS! But this is the best part.. they were sitting there enjoying their granola bar and goldfish, when out of the blue, Jude put the moves on. He slyly slid his arm around Abby's shoulders... ( just like her daddy would do to me in the movie theater) and then when he tried to hold her hand, Abby decided to keep it clean and shake his instead. We are proud of our Abby girl, obviously those chastity talks have paid off. Even more impressive is the move done by Jude, we will never forget this act of love. There is nothing quite like young love. Thank you Jude for this... it made us proud parents.

Great story! I remember being in the Mothers' Room at church one time when Abbey was nursing Lilah and had brought Jude in as well who spent his time prowling behind the chairs growling pretending to be a lion. I love church!

Wow, after reading this I feel that I would benefit from pushing Belize's chastity talks from age 12 to 11 months! j/k She actually has already had her first mouth kiss with Jeffrey (Sheila's baby). Maybe I shouldn't have applauded afterwards. :) Abby is adorable!

Hey Allison! Great to see you have a blog. I found it through Suzanne's. I love this story. Eldon was telling me about it just the other day. It reminds me of the time that Brendon (about 5 at the time) said he wanted to marry Grace Brady (about 5 months at the time). I guess a guy is never too old (or too young?) to like a younger woman, huh? You can check out my blog at shakespear-family.blogspot.com
