Trabajar

So Judah's favorite word....or word he says more than any other.....is "trabajar" (work). It's funny to me how he conceptualizes the word right now. In his world "trabajar" means "not here". It makes sense. Every time he would ask where Stevie was or was going, I would tell him to work. So now he spends most of his days asking me if Stevie is at work. Often, Stevie is sleeping and Judah knows that. But in his world, if Stevie isn't with us, well then the most logical place for him to be is "trabajar".

What really cracks me up is how he has started applying that to everyone else. If Levi is napping (out of sight for Judah), he asks me if Levi is at work (which the idea always makes me laugh a little).

This morning in particular, Judah really focused on who wasn't here. He began to go through the list of all of his loved ones in his head and ask me if they were at work.
It went something like this:
"Papi trabajar"
"Levi trabajar"
"Tita trabajar"
"Tia trabajar"
and well, you get the picture!
