Hudson - 1/22/2018

Hudson ate bites of breakfast: bran cereal and raisins.  For lunch he ate chicken, whole wheat pita bread, olives, bite of tomato, bite of cucumber, ate avocados, and ate his pears.  We'd sat to eat breakfast before Avi arrived and Hudson said, "Where is that Avi at!?!"  Like Daddy Andy said this morning; "Hudson has a way with words."  He certainly does.  I asked Hudson and Avi if they played soccer on Saturday and they both said, "yes" and also let me know that "coach Joe is still at soccer."

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids were busy all morning exploring everything.  The "new" toys keep them engaged all morning so we rarely do Art Time or sing songs on Toy Exchange Monday.  We did read a tall stack of books from this exchange.  When I took this first picture Hudson was reading books and so was Atley.  He asked, "Why is she singing about green beans!?!"  Haha!  That made me laugh.  He obviously thought the tune was "Today is Monday, today is Monday, Monday green beans (some books call it string beans)....."  (That book was in the last toy exchange so she could very well have been singing it.)  In the 2nd picture Hudson and Avi started wearing the masks and Nora immediately joined in as well.  Hudson said, "How do you like my wolf mask!?"  I like it Bubba!!

 

Avi and Hudson were playing in the igloo and pretending to sleep when I took this last picture.  Moments later Avi was done and Bubba was begging her to come back and using every phrase he could think of!!  It went like this: "Hey Sweetie! Come back, come back."  Not working.  "Come back Sister, come back!!"  Not working.  "Come back Avi, come back!!"  Not working.  "Come back Avi Nelson!!"  Even the stern voice was not working.  "Why you say no Avi!?!  Tell me!!"  Silence!  I think she knows silence is the most effective weapon to use against Hudson!!  :)
