Rocker Hudson

One thing is for sure...this kid loves music and musical instruments.  He had a blast at the music festival on Saturday where Parmalee played.   He got to hang out on the tour bus, see lots of guitars, and even got his own set of real drum sticks from Scott.  He also got to see Joe Nichols but was much more impressed by Scott, Matt, Josh, and Barry.  I was a bad audiologist mommy and forgot to buy him ear muffs before we went and of course he wanted to be right up in the front.  We tried putting the disposable ear plugs in but he was not having it.  The night ended with another busted lip but he was a trooper and just needed a little paci comfort to calm him down.

 Before the bloody lip....

After the bloody lip..  He is only crying at this point because I took away the paci to clean his mouth off.

Scott's drum sticks did the trick to cheer him up.  He knew exactly what to do with them and didn't put them down the rest of the night.  They were also the first toy he played with this morning.  We might all need ear plugs in the house now that he has learned to bang them on the pots and pans.

This week Hudson has started to shake his head "Yes" or "No" when you ask him a question.  It is neat to see him actually let us know what he wants.  It has made dinner time a little easier because he will just shake his head no if he doesn't want what I am trying to give him instead of screaming.

 I have heard the word "No" and few times already.  Oh Boy, I am kind of dreading that one.  There is a little girl in Hudson's class at school that is in a phase where she says "NO!" to everything.  Let's hope he doesn't pick that up.  He is also starting to understand what "Hot" means and will say it whenever I am cooking something on the stove or drinking anything out of a coffee cup.  He is growing up too fast.
