songs

Lately Hudson has begun singing, and dancing when I sing a song to him. The song he seems to like the most is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. He'll sing the "up above the world so high" part, and sway back and forth. It's pretty much the cutest thing i've ever seen. Now he also sings himself to sleep...heart melting, really. Though along with this adorable behavior has come a change that I believe to be the beginning of the terrible two's. Someone once told me that the "terrible two's" doesn't mean the challenge comes when they turn two, but that the two is representative of a two year period where your child may provide you with a new adventure - often of the not-so-fun kind. :) To put it nicely.

So when all of a sudden Hudson has decided that he doesn't want to sit in his high chair to eat, and that he'd rather stand on a chair at the table and throw most of his food, I'm inclined to think he's entering this phase. Screaming and crying in his high chair, if we can get him strapped in, for over 30 minutes provides us with clear communication that he no longer likes eating there. It also creates a new level of fatigue after a long day at work. Along with this, his fits and tantrums seem to be multiplying faster than rats in a sewer. 

And the adventure thickens. Lucky for him, Hudson is balance out with an adorable personality...most of the time.

 One of Hudson's favorite things to do is to take his dirty clothes hamper and put it over his head, then walk around with it on. It's hilarious! Tonight he grabbed it after his bath and before we had a chance to get him dressed - so i got a quick picture with my phone. So funny!
