Hudson - 3/8/2018

Hudson ate most of whole wheat bagel and two servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch he ate hamburger/sausage pizza on whole wheat crust with tomato sauce, olives, peppers, and pineapple.  He also ate a couple bites of mixed fruit.  Sometimes it's a bit rowdy getting through the gate for meal times and I have to watch them closely.  Tuesday and Wednesday Avi walked into the corner of the gate (or was jostled) and hit her forehead.  Today at breakfast Hudson said, "Hey! Avi didn't hit the gate this time.  :)  Thank goodness!!

Hudson enjoys helping Nora work on puzzles and this morning when I got Nora a puzzle Hudson asked, "Can I show her where the pieces go!?"  Thanks for your help Hudson.  And so I teach him how to help her.  :)  So here's a helpful tip Hudson: point where it goes instead of snatching it out of her hand and putting it in the right spot!  Haha.  Also about puzzles; Hudson was out doing puzzles and I've asked them to not set up puzzle play right in front of the puzzle rack so others can put their's back and get more out.  He asked, "Can I scoot (on the hardwood floor) my butt over here!?  Haha! Sure!  Works for me!

Lauralea has been teaching evening classes so she is at home today.  The kids were greeting her at the gate this morning and it was SO cute.  And re-creating the moment looks pretty good too, right!?  (See picture!!  Ha!)  Speaking of Lauralea - during meal times I have the kids say, "Thank you Lauralea!" And she usually isn't around to hear it, but she was today!  Side note about that: This morning at Lunch I mixed some baby food with infant cereal for Linnea and Hudson said, "Thank you Lauralea!"  (As he watched ME fix it. That cracked me up!)

Here are a couple more pictures from the morning activities.  Hudson with his buddy Linnea and Hudson lining up some pillows.  He's gotta keep things organized!!  We also did golf ball art, or as Atley calls it; "goo-ba art."  :)
