Chuck E. Cheese Party

I've been waiting for this day......can you say Chuck E Cheese! Oh boy it was a blast. My close friends and family made the party, despite the horrible weather outside. We enjoyed some pizza and cake while waiting for Chuck E to make his appearance. Did I mention he scared me a little? It was worth it, once it was game time. Thanks again for celebrating # 3 at the "Cheese" with me!

I'm 3!

Well I'm another year older. Mimi, nana, papa and Abby all came to town. I started my birthday off with Disney on Ice and McDonalds for lunch. Then it was a little rest time. Then we headed off to the Texas Roadhouse to dine with some cowboys. I sat on the saddle, which I didn't like. The cute servers sang to me and I was super shy the entire time. The family and I headed back home for some gift opening time. I love all of my new goodies. Thanks family for the wonderful birthday and goodies. Mom is going to talk now.....
I have a 3 year old and I know that I say this every year, but how can my little man be 3! I'm just so sad that 3 years have come and gone. The last year has been wonderful and full of challenges as well. Hudson is very much into boy things. He loves cars, balls, pretend play, blcoks, reading and has really been into batman lately. Hudson has become very independant and gets very upset if you try and offer help. This is nice, but sad that he doesn't need us as much. We are diaper free and that is a nice feeling as far as money goes. It took Hudson about 3 days and no regression since then. I'm truly amazed with Hudson's vocabulary and his eagerness to pick new things up. We have also noticed a huge change in his attitude. Hudson can be very stubborn and likes things when he wants them. We need to work on being more patient, but what 2 year old is good at that! These days we are spending more time on the steps to think about our choices. I keep telling myself consistency and one reminder will pay off in the long run. Do you think that sounds like the teacher in me?
I love to watch Hudson interact with his friends, which we are blessed to have so many. Hudson still spends one day a month with his DAM club friends and that is a great friendship for him and us. It has been fun watching them grow together and develop their own personalties. We signed Hudson up for t-ball, which begins late spring. We are very excited to see how that goes. I think it will be a lot of dirt digging and melt downs. The Herriman family is looking forward to another year of growing and adventures with the Hud man. Thank you Hudson for your love, memories and just being the best boy you can be.
I want to end with a list of things I love about Hudson (good and not so good)
-when mom says no, Hudson will reply back with "I said yes"
-his love for learning, especially reading
-when he ask "why not"
-we ask Hudson a question that he knows the answer to he responds "I can't remember"
-when he tells me to "change my attitude"
-watching him play with his toys and talking to himself during interacting with his toys

Disney on Ice

Disney on Ice

waiting for the show

my favorite part

Mom, Mimi and I went to see Disney on Ice for my birthday. My favorite part was the CAR Characters and Tinkerbell. I love how Mater helped Mickey and Minnie start their car. I enjoyed some treats and check out my new Lightning McQueen glasses. Super cool!

Bday Party with Daycare Friends

It's my birthday week so I went to daycare on Wednesday to celebrate with my friends. I had a great day and fun celebrating with my friends. Thanks for making it a special day!

Crown Center

Today we headed down to Crown Center to check out the Fairy Tale Village. Wow, what a great time! My favorite was the Three Pigs and the Wolf. I loved seeing the wolf in the fireplace. OUCH! I pushed bottons, cooked, read stories, pulled Rapenzel's hair,saw Sleeping Beauty and walked over the bridge to the castle about 20 times. Mom even saw one of her former students from her first year of teaching there. We stopped to eat at the Flying Saucer down at PNL. I even tried to make it into the "mug club" there by sneaking the last drop of dad's drink. Mom and dad can't turn their heads for one second without trouble! It was a super Saturday!

SNOW DAY!

Well, we had another snow day and that means mom is home from school. When mom is home, I stay at home with her. Mom and I actually are enjoying these days (which have included 6 days), but this mean school until the first week of June....not fun!

ELMO Live

the Street gang

hanging with dad

Tonight I went to my first ELMO Live show. It was awesome and great fun! I enjoyed watching the characters, as "The Street" is one of my favorite shows.

Car Wash

The snow has finally melted and now the car clean up begins. I helped dad wash off both cars and I must say they look pretty good.

A Night Out

The birthday celebration continues as mom and dad enjoy a night out with friends.

Happy Birthday Mom
