Hudson - 8/14/2018

Hudson ate most of whole wheat bagel and ate two servings of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch he ate shrimp, half of brown rice, ate stir fry vegetables, and raspberries.  Just in case anyone is wondering why certain children are missing from the pictures; There are only 3 kids here today and for the rest of the week as Nora, Avilene, and Svea are gone on vacation.  Then Atley leaves on Friday for vacation and will be gone all next week as well.  It's that time of year!!

This was pretty funny, but the kids obviously didn't get the humor, or even notice, so I'll share it here!! We were outside and Hudson was barreling down the sidewalk on the bike pedaling as fast as his legs could go, looking down the entire way.  Linnea was playing in the middle of the road of course and I said, "Watch where you're going Hudson!"  Just as the words were coming out of my mouth I went stumbling through the ice cream carts!  Haha!  Watch where you're going Gary!  :)

Speaking of riding the bikes Hudson frequently says, "I'm a police officer!"  He was playing that game again this morning and said, "I have parking tickets right here!  And if people park in the wrong spot I give them a ticket!!"  Hmmm...one of those annoying parking tickets!!  :)

Atley has began showing empathy/sympathy on her own initiative when another child gets hurt. Today Hudson hurt his toe and she immediately wanted to give him a love.  A short time later, after we'd went outside, she hurt her foot (kind of - ha) and wanted him to reciprocate.  That didn't happen and a few seconds later she told him; "My foot is ok Bubba."  :)

Here are a couple of pictures from this morning!  First picture - just relaxing with the big bears.  Atley said they were "nice cozy bears."  In the 2nd picture Hudson and Atley were doing some free-drawing before breakfast.
