A New Toy?

Who needs expensive toys when you have a big cardboard box. Hudson really enjoys being pushed around the house by his big sister or flown around by daddy in a diaper box.

Look who's almost crawling.....

For a couple of days now Hudson has been getting on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth. He will take little crawls forward and then he falls head first into the floor. Then he goes back to the old backwards crawl and usually gets stuck under the furniture. I am not quite ready for him to start crawling yet. I have to make sure all of Ella's small toys are always picked up off the floor.

Playing Outside

It has been finally somewhat nice outside. So Ella has been wanting to go outside and play. Especially since we took her to soccer class she is always wanting to go out and play soccer. But Hudson has had a cold and it has been pretty windy, so he has been enjoying watching Ella from inside sitting in his highchair.

Science Fun

We took Ella to a Science class for 3, 4 & 5 year olds. They played with magnets, mixing colors, painting, and using a magnifying glass to look at different objects. She had a lot of fun but she still doesn't like to get messy or wet.

John and some of the guys went up to Lawrence see the parade and go to Allen Fieldhouse. They were able to see the players up close and even got some autographs. John was able to get Russell Robinson, Darnell Jackson, Mario Chalmers and Sasha Kaun's autographs. It was hard to get autographs because some of them weren't signing.

The Next Soccer Star.....

A little boy took her soccer ball and after that she always carried her ball with her

.....Probably not (well at least not yet). We took Ella to a soccer class to see if she would like to play soccer this year. She did pretty well but we need to toughen her up a little bit. She cried a little bit when a boy accidentally hit her with a soft bouncy ball. I am sure by next year she will be used to get hit with all kinds of things by her little brother. So soccer will have to wait till at least next year.

Ella has a great imagination and she created a town, school, and park for her little people.
