Hudson is 2!

What a weekend! Friday was Hudson's actual birthday, so we started out the day at Kiddie Gym. All the kids sang 'Happy Birthday' while Hudson plopped himself in the center of the circle. Too funny. After Kiddie Gym, we met up with Daddy for lunch at Cafe Rio (one of our new faves). Hudson enjoyed his cheesy quesadilla. Then we polished off lunch with a trip to Yogurtland! Unfortunately, even birthday boys need their rest, so after that it was time for a snooze. Ga-ga came over in the afternoon with presents! Then she stayed to play with Hudson so we could hit up Costco for all the party food!

Yesterday was Hudson's party at Flo-Jo Park. It was a beautiful day and the weather wasn't too hot, especially under all the shade. We had a wonderful day celebrating our little man's birthday with all our family and close friends! 

Here's what we grubbed on:

BBQ Pork Sliders with Swish Slaw

Team Mom's Coconut Macaroons (dipped in chocolate, of course)

Backcourt Burgers with Extra Sharp White Cheddar/Jalapeño Muenster Cheese

3-Point Potato Salad

Team Captain's Cupcakes in Strawberry, Carrot Cake & Dark Blue (Devil's food cake w/ blueberries)

I guess Hudson's didn't feel his outfit was complete, so he decided to take a spill 30 minutes before the party started, and ended up with a large scrape on his face and knee! That didn't stop him from having fun though! All in all, it was a fabulous day. We all slept very well last night. :)

My Big Preschooler

Yesterday was Hudson's first day of preschool! He is attending a Christian school about a mile from home. Technically, school doesn't start until September, but they offer a summer camp with fun activities and lessons, and we felt it would be a good way for Hudson to get acclimated before the fall. 

His first day went great- his teacher said he listened really well. He was a little confused at nap time because he's not used to sleeping on a cot with other kids in the room, but he'll get the hang of it. When I picked him up, he didn't want to leave. I waited a few minutes, but eventually had to carry him out against his will! I guess that's a good thing, but it can be a bit challenging to carry 31 pounds of uncooperative weight. :) 

I asked Hudson about his day and he said "Bikes!!" then waited a few seconds and said "Trash truck!!" and "Basketball!" By the way, Hudson thinks any large, noisy vehicle is a trash truck... but in his defense, the school is having a trash truck visit today to talk about "Going Green" so I'm sure he was referring to that. All in all, it was a great start to preschool! Yay Hudson!!
