The Danielsons: Hudson is TWO!!!

Hudson turned the big T-W-O on January 24th!!

I cant believe I have a two year old son.

It really is surreal.

On Hudsons actual birthday I had a fun day planned.

We were supposed to go out to breakfast at my moms work,

then take doughnuts to daddys work.
Then we were going to go play with hudsons friend and then go to the aquarium.
Well...plans changed.

We got to eat breakfast and Hudson just kept saying he was cold.

He had his coat on inside and was shivering.

It was NOT cold at all.

Poor thing wouldn't eat anything.

we left a little early and still stopped at daddys work so he could see him.

We barely lasted ten minutes.

Hudson wouldn't even eat a doughnut.

That is when I knew something was wrong.
So was skipped the rest of the day and just went home to sleep on the couch.
Hudson had a low fever and just wasn't feeling so great.

I was worried because his birthday was that saturday.

I didn't want him to be sick.

Luckily the next day he woke up feeling fantastic, and he actually ate.

Whatever it was im glad it only lasted about a day.

But it sucks that of ALL the days it was his birthday.

There should be a rule you cant be sick on your birthday.

His party turned out fantastic! and we went out to eat the next week at planet play. We had a blast!

What you've been up to:

Two is such a fun age!

You are 100% potty trained! wow...little man I am so proud of you. You have been "day trained" for a while. But I would still put a diaper on you at night time, for naps and if we were going to be gone for a while. But I stopped putting diapers on you for naps since they don't last that long anyways. Then I stopped while we were running errands and you did awesome! The last few weeks you would fall asleep at night and I would just forget to change you into a diaper. But you wake up dry every morning. We have had about 3-5 accidents that I can remember in the last month or so. You are awesome little man!
You are getting to be one smart cookie. You know all your colors, you can count to 16. Though you usually start with 3 and skip 1 & 2. You know a few shapes [diamond, circle, star, moon, and sometimes triangle].
You have gotten quite and imagination lately. It is so cute! You like to pretend to be certain animals [ie. snake, lion, dog, kitty, elephant] and you crawl on the floor and make the animal noises. You also will tell me "ohhh mom scared! monster over there" or "lion over there" I don't know where you come up with this stuff kid.
You are a sponge when it comes to talking. You talk sooo much. I feel like I can actually hold real conversations with you. You have started saying "i do" " I don't" and " I need it". how you learned that? I have no idea...the things your brain picks up on! Or if I ask you a question you go " ummmmm....cuz!" haha. the only down fall is I really have to watch what I say. The other day I stubbed my toe and said "damn it!" well..now you say it all the time. You think its hilarious. If you drop something you will say it. we try real hard not to make a bid deal, we don't laugh or anything or freak out. But we tell you to say " oh coconuts" instead.
Speaking of coconuts, Jake and the Never Land Pirates are a favorite right now! as is Micky Mouse, Tangeled, and Despicable Me [or as you call it MINIONS!]
You love to read books. although you don't always let me finish before we pick out a new one.
You have become a very big mommas boy. I ~~secretly~~ love it! I have been not working now for almost 3 weeks. Lets just say you have gotten very attached. I cant even leave you at grandmas for a couple hours while I run errands with out a total melt down.
You can now open our fridge...ugh!...and get your own snack, usually a yogurt then go get a spoon. What? how are you this big!
Terrible twos are here...and they are strong! But the good moments FAR out way the bad. So I should be happy :D
Your asthma has been horrible this last month. I blame it solely on the crappy air we have been having! It was ranked basically the worst in the nation :( Thats what we get when were in a valley surronded by GIANT mountains on every side I guess. I feel so bad, I want to take you out the play in the 2 foot snow in our front yard..but the air just sucks I don't want to risk it.
You know all your super heros! Captain America, Hulk and Spider man are your favorites :) I never thought Id be a boy mom...but I must say super heros are pretty fun and I am learning alot!
I love watching you grow and learn. and how you interprut things in your own way. We love playing hide and seek. But you call it "Hide Count". You will yell at me " momma HIDE COUNT!" and if I am finding you I count and say ready or not here I come, then I will say: " is hudson under the table " H: "nope" Me: "is hudson up stairs" H: "nope"...we do this a few times...then Me: "where did hudson go" H: "by the window" hahah I love it! if your finding me you go: "3, 4, not, come!" then you run to me and find me and say "ROOOAAAARRR got you momma"
You are still our ball of energy and NEVER EVER sit still.
You had your first dentist appointment the week of your birthday. It was a little rough but once you got your prize you were excited. The dentist said everything looks great! and to see you in six months. This dentist is amazing, I wish they would have been around when I was a kid. They are super hero themed. You get a super hero cape on your first visit, then with each check up and no cavities you get to add to your out fit with a shirt, arm bands, head band, etc. They also do themed days and you get a special prize if you come dressed up. They day we went was pajama day. They are incredibly nice and only 5 min from our house! win win

You are just getting to big for your own good, and im sure your are up to lots more im just forgetting some. We love you so much Hudson, you make our lives so happy each and every day. We couldn't ask for a better son.
