Hudson - 4/27/2017

Hudson ate whole wheat bagel and peaches for breakfast.  For lunch he ate pizza: whole wheat crust, meat mix (hamburger, sausage, eggs), olives, mushrooms, peppers, and pineapple.  Plus he had two extra servings of pineapple.  He's been eating everything so well!  And a lot!!

Hudson was the first one here this morning and he asked, "Can you snuggle me?"  Aww...so sweet! You bet I can little fella!!  So we did!  I told Hudson; "Avi will be coming soon."  Hudson said, "Avi Elson, Avi Elson."  Geez!  You're so right Hudson, Avi Nelson!!  He hears, remembers, and repeats everything!!

Here's a picture of Nora sitting in the Library reading with Bubba!  :)  And some more reading in the next picture with Lauralea.  The book they are reading is the "I Spy" book.  I point to an object on one page; rabbit, ball, kite, etc.  And Hudson finds and points to the same object on the opposite page. He does real well with this activity.  Lauralea and I were discussing it this morning and this is essentially a cognitive exercise and probably called something like; "visual discrimination."  Anyhow, he nailed it!  Well done Hudson.

And the last picture; these 2 were working hard to get the rocking chair to cooperate!  :)  And they were fairly successful!  Here are a couple of additional notes about Hudson; This morning he was singing, "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you."  Then he sang it with "Pat."  Then with "Hofie."  Then with "Nora."  So I asked, Baby Nora?  Hudson said, "Sister Nora."  Hahaha!  That's how Sophie distinguishes between the 2 Noras; "Baby Nora" and "Sister Nora."  Hudson had pulled off his socks and was playing with his toes saying, "This piggy have beef, this piggy have beef, this piggy have beef."  :)
