The big kids

I haven't written anything about just the big kids lately. They are growing up so so fast!!

Hudson just turned four (yesterday) and Sissy will be two on October 16th. 

Hudson and Lillian are the true definition of brother and sister...they play hard and they have started to fight hard. Since Lillian's been able to move around, she has pretty much been in pounce mode with Hudson. And at first, he was scared to play back with her because she was being so rough, but now, they will straight up kick and scream at eachother. 

They really do have so much fun together! Lillian loves him so so much and watches his every move. Hudson has started to be more aware of where she is, and will try to initiate play time with her. 

A few things about Lillian:

- She is about 24-25 lbs

- wearing 24 mths/2T clothes and size 4 diapers

- She is a totally SASSY pants and i'm afraid the terrible twos have hit our household. If there is something she wants and she can't get it, you better back.it.up because she is about to get crazy!

- Current loves her pap paps (only at night and nap), her baby dolls, this ugly blue stuffed puppy, the movie RIO, Finding Nemo, and Frozen, plain cheerios, goldfish, any and every fruit but she currently loves to eat whole apples, just started drinking apple juice and loving it, bathtime, rough housing with Hudson (or anyone who will play with her), hiding household trinkets (we still can't find our master bedroom remote), giving the tightest and sweetest hugs (and closing her eyes while doing it), wearing a bow in her hair, the ipad, and my brother, Bubba 

- Today when I picked her up from MMO, her sweet teachers told me that she was giving hugs out left and right...and she got very intense with these hugs. Basically, she is a rough hugger. Geez, atleast she's not biting (yet). 

- Funny things she says: "Back on, bow" "Ready to go, mommy" "read-it" "No, no, no" (while shaking her finger), "Frozeee" (Frozen), "ice-milk" (water) "caaaaaaake" "ride that weee" (ride the gator with Hudson) "side-side" (outside)

She says a million other things, but I just wanted to remember the funny ones. She also has words that I can't understand, but she says the exact same thing every time. Like her word for elephant, chicken, mooo-cow, train

- She calls Hudson "Sissy" She knows her name is Sissy, but she also calls him that too? I'm still confused by it. 

- She has the most beautiful hair with ringlets in the back. Thank goodness it finally grew in!

Things about Hudson:

- Wearing 4T clothes and some 5T pants for length (still no blue jeans)

- Completely potty trained, amen and AMEN! And recently stopped sleeping in pull ups too!

- Has become very outspoken about what he wants. And if he doesn't get it, he starts to cry which is annoying. So we are working through that. Still trying to explain to him that big boys don't cry like that. Also still trying to figure out which disciplinary technique works best for him.

- Current loves: anything daddy related, dinosaurs, his new CAT train set, digging for rocks, playing in the dirt, the movie RIO, Ice Age, Planes Fire and Rescue, having Sissy chase him around the house, reading books with daddy at night, cutting the grass with daddy/papa, riding on the gator, playing with his flashlights in the dark, Soccertots at school, Mrs Ann Marie (his speech therapist), fishing at the pond, playing with trucks, Pete the Cat books, cake and cupcakes, plain wheat bread, the small cups of applesauce, he is an obsessive collector of trinkets and if he really loves it, he will put it on his dresser at night for it to "watch him" 

- He told me tonight "If I touch my friends at school, I have to sit in the thinking chair" 

I think that means time out, but not sure? Ha!

- Other funny things he says: "Horsey fly", "Don't be loud to me" (don't yell at me), he loves to repeat this phrase from one of his books "Sometimes being small is just big enough", 

- At night, when we are leaving his room, he wants to use say "Love you, goodnight, ok, thats it" every single night. And he usually plays with his flashlight for a few minutes, rolls around talking to himself, and then goes to sleep

- Trying to drop his afternoon nap, which makes for a grumpy/hyper little boy in the late afternoon
- As nice nasty as he can be, he has the sweetest little heart and is just learning new things every day!

Love these angels more than words!
