Hudson - 4/24/2017

Hudson ate bites of cheerios and banana for breakfast.  For lunch he ate burger from taco salad, ate pita bread, bite or two of tomatoes, ate olives, avocado, and bites of cantaloupe.  Kenzie and Riley are here today (no elementary or middle school) and they were keeping a close eye on Bubba during mealtimes.  Kenzie said, "Bubba, the spoon is not for rubbing your hair."  Riley said, "Bubba, the spoon is not for rubbing your chin."  Ha!  "Geez, I can't get away with anything!!"

I took this first picture during Friday's nap time.  I was laughing because this really didn't look too comfortable to me!!  Ha!  Nothing like using oak hardwood for your nice soft pillow!  And he's got his head up between the legs on the little side table.  But he was having a good nap!

It always amazes me how many of our books and songs these little ones know and remember!!  Besides the regular books in the toy exchanges I also have probably 50 or more "Special books."  This morning I started reading one (probably 3 or more weeks since we've read it, maybe longer) "Down by the (I hesitate so they can fill in the blank)..."  Hudson immediately said, "station" and he continued, "early in the morning."  (singing it)  A couple pages into the book I asked him, "what kind of bird is this?"  "Flamingo."  Nice memory Hudson!!

Here are some pictures from this morning's activities - lots of "chase" with Riley and Kenzie.  "Chase us Bubba, chase us Bubba!"  We also read lots of books, sang silly songs, and Hudson did some stamps with Sophie at Art.  (Avi colored - Riley and Kenzie created some of their own art.)  Kenzie informed me that "it's important for kids to do art."  Why?  "Because if they want to be artists they have to learn to do art."  :)
