Hudson - 7/12/2017

Hudson ate whole wheat toast and mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch he ate everything as well: hamburger with marinara sauce, whole wheat spaghetti noodles, squash, and fruit salad.

We rarely look at anything on the computer as a group, but there is one web site that I like for the kids and that is explore.org.  It features many web cams set up around the country and other parts of the world as well.  My favorite at this time of year is the big brown bears feeding on salmon at a place called Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, Alaska.  We looked at them for a few minutes and the kids loved it; especially Hudson and Avilene.  (Ok, I admit, I probably loved it the most!  Haha!)  There were several times this morning you could spot 10 - 12 fish trying to jump up the falls at the same time.

I took this first picture yesterday afternoon outside.  All 4 kids were jammed in the small space in this play house, but it was hard to get a good angle for a picture.  But you get the idea!  This age group - if one person is there, they all want to be there!  :)  We played outside this morning as well and they played with the balls and wagons the most.  The 2nd picture is also from yesterday afternoon, but Hudson was working on the same thing this morning.  He said he was building a tower and he worked hard at it.  He told a couple of parents "bye" from across the room rather than come to the gate.  (Proof how engaged he was!!  Ha!)

Hudson and Avi were sitting on the blue balance beam and Hudson said, "Going on airplane."  Then he got some pillows and said, "This our backpacks."  I love how the dramatic play gets passed on from child to child.  Sophie always has Bubba involved in some kind of creative play and even though she's not here today he continues to do it with Avi.  In the last picture he decided to use the "backpacks" for pillows.  Ha!
