Hudson - 5/14/2018

Hudson ate most of bran cereal and bites of raisins for breakfast.  For lunch he ate chicken, ate whole wheat pita bread, no tomatoes, bites of cucumber, half of his peppers, ate olives, and ate pears.  At the breakfast table Hudson was asking me about movies I may have seen.  "Hey Gary! Have you watched Frozen?"  No.  "Have you watched Zootopia?"  No.  "Have you watched Monsters, Inc.?"  Yes.  This continued until we got to one I couldn't decipher what he was saying.  Something like; "Animals get wild" or "Animals in the wild."  Anyhow, none of my guesses hit the correct answer.  Finally he said, "Do you have your hearing aids in!?!"  LOL!  Oh man that hit my funny bone and I roared!  It was funny on several levels; one being the fact that he would never think it might also be partly him!  He saw how hard I was laughing so of course he repeated it!  "Do you have your hearing aids in!?!"  :)

It was a pretty normal Monday with a couple exceptions.  First, Linnea is home feeling kinda low from having a cold and secondly the kids were fairly tame for a Monday!  :)  Avilene was asking, "Can we do some of those blue things Gary?"  So in the first picture the kids are doing some of those "blue things!"  2nd Picture: You may have seen these, but just in case you haven't they are called water painting doodle mats and you can get lots of different mats with different pictures.  You put water in the applicator, color with it, and a picture starts to appear.  In this case it was simply 4 different colors, alphabet, and numbers.  Then after sitting for 10 minutes or so the mats are completely dry and bare (no picture).  Hudson just stared with "open mouth" when I showed the children their pictures at Lunch time which were now just blank!  :)  The nice part about Doodle mats is the NO mess, no cleanup factor.  I love it.  Last picture is "fun on the mattress."  All the kids were jumping with doll blankets over their head and Hudson is in the middle.  (Nora was doing it too, but I never caught all 4 on the blue balance beam at the same time.  Almost and then one would jump!
