On Mon., Nov. 5th Mommy & Hudson went to their last ECFE baby class and had a great time. Some of the parent learning topics included baby photography at home & professional ideas, healthy eating & sleeping habits, choosing gifts for baby, how to interact & play with baby, and brain development. Here they are during song time singing, "Hudson's here today!":
On Tues., Nov. 6th Hudson welcomed his 8th tooth! It was the 2nd from the middle on the bottom left hand side. Didn't really complain too much so almost missed it!
As we begin the month of November here's a quick update on all our activities at daycare. This month the Sweet Peas or baby room is doing a unit on "Thankful for Families". They will be talking about "myself and my family" and Hudson is even going to make a family montage! They plan to hang up in the classroom so the babies will have recognizing themselves & their families on the wall.
In our Little Sprouts room we welcomed a new teacher this month, Ms. Mandie, and this month we will be learning about popcorn (*I helped pop some on Nov. 6th), turkeys, family and transportation. As I'm part-time in the Explorer's Room this month we will also learn about squirrels/nuts, hibernation & day/night, Thanksgiving & the color brown and transportation. I love that both classrooms will focus on my first love, transportation! Hopefully they'll include some tractors too!
On Thurs., Nov. 8th we got to stay a little longer at DC as Mom had a Parent's Board meeting as we're planning our first school year fundraiser to continue our efforts to build our toddler and pre-school playgrounds. Welcome to join our Holiday Bazaar on Thurs., Nov. 15th at Little Giants from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Lots of fun stuff to buy and even Santa pictures!
On Fri., Nov. 9th we celebrated another milestone...Hudson got glasses! It took a few weeks however his glasses finally came in; they are round, Miramax children's eye glasses in dark blue pearl. Note we only had 32 color choices to choose from! They are very flexible and from the start Hudson loved them, seriously! The eye doctor examined him after his glasses fitting and said usually children leave them on if they help. Hudson is far sighted and right eye tends to stay stationary so we hope glasses will correct this so may out grow them. We go back in December to see if working and if not may monitor for corrective surgery. Daddy had the surgery at age 2!
Here's our handsome little guy just seconds after getting his glasses; loved them from the start, only took them off once and just smiled as his head continually looked around to check everything out!
After glasses we celebrated by having a dinner date with Mom and then went to Blue Earth for their Holiday trolley rides! We even got to see Ms. Megan and sit with her! She thought Hudson was soo cute in his glasses and all the ladies were checking him out!
Saturday, Nov. 10th and Sunday, Nov. 11th we enjoyed the nice weather and put out our Christmas lights. We even put up a candy can walk way which of course I thought that meant I had to "lick" each one! You should have seen the look of shock on Mom's face! Apparently you can't eat these candy canes. On the 10th we enjoyed a quiet night at home with the Hansen's for dinner & a movie. We always love having play dates with Addison! Unfortunately today, Nov. 12th Hudson woke up with a high fever of 103 and just not feeling well. After a trip to the doctor's it was confirmed poor guy has strep throat - good news no ear infection! Got on medicine right away and so far everyone else feels great. Hopefully little man will feel better soon! In the mean time we'll continue to admire how handsome he looks in his new glasses - congrats, Hudson!
