Routines

Hudson LOVES to make up little routines and do them over and over again. One that he is really into right now we have named "animals." There is a basket of stuffed animals at the end of Hudson's crib and he loves to carry his animals one-at-a-time from the basket in his room to the bathtub in our ensuite. Once they have all been moved he fusses since he can't get them out of the tub so we put them all on our bed and he moves them back to his room. This keeps him busy while Keith and I get ready for the day. Variations of this game also include moving his socks back and forth and putting the animals in the drawers in our guest room. I have no idea how he chooses which animals to put in which drawers, but he shoves one in, closes the drawer, and then goes to get another one.
One of Hudson's animals is a stuffed bear in a Seahakws cheerleader outfit. One morning Keith was encouraging Hudson in his game of animals and I heard him say "Hudson, can you take the Seahawks cheerleader to your room please?" Hopefully this isn't something I hear again when Hudson is a teenager.

Earlier this week Hudson showed me he was ready for his nap by laying on the floor with his computer over his face.

Another favourite at our house is The Ark. Hudson is very serious about putting all of the animals into the Ark and then taking all of them out. He will do this repeatedly..for up to half an hour at a time.

In fact, as I am writing this post Hudson is moving his Ark animals from the Ark in the study to the couch and then back again.

And last week we enjoyed a short visit from Brenda, Michael and Levi on their way to the UK. Here are the three of us TWU pals with our little boys. And yes, Hudson has an enormous puzzle piece in his mouth.
