Hudson - 2/2/2018

Hudson ate most of his brown rice and a bite or two of raisins for breakfast.  For lunch he ate two servings of baked salmon, ate dinner roll, two servings of corn, and ate mangoes.  I posted the following note in the other blogs today;  The phrase I use all the time - as they begin to eat, plus lots of reminders during the meal; "Hold your head over your plate/bowl as you eat!"  They frequently hear it when we eat things like oatmeal, rice, applesauce, etc.  Even in her highchair Nora responds to this instruction well and watches everyone else.  So eventually when she transitions to the table she will already be a pro at it too!!  :)  It's amazing how well they do.  I also have them hold their plate/bowl with the hand that is not holding their spoon.  Hudson has been at the table for a pretty long time now and he is a great example to the other kids.  I frequently say, "Watch how Bubba is holding his plate."  Nice job Hudson!!

I asked Hudson (many times this morning - haha!) if he knows what today's date is!!  Nope!  Although one time he said it was "Sunday!!"  Good guess Bubba, but no.  "It's 2/2/2018!" It's 2/2!!  or as we call her "Tutu!!"  He kept saying, "nooooo!"  Like "Silly Gary!"  Sorry, but I couldn't help myself Bubba!  I thought it was hilarious!!  :)  Happy 2/2 Day!!

As you can see from the pictures below the morning activities were pretty normal.  In the first picture Hudson was giving Atley and Nora rides in the chair.  (Avi is not here today.  She is feeling a bit crummy!)  In the 2nd picture Hudson had asked; "Can I do puzzles?"  Of course!  Then he wanted to read books and asked; "Hey Gary, can we read the new Dr. Seuss books!?"  Of course!  He likes them almost as much as I do!  :)  Then Hudson was watching our neighbor clean his sidewalk.  He said, "Big Willy is shoveling snow!  So people can walk on the sidewalk!"  I love how Hudson can expound on just about any statement he makes!
