A Friday at home

We had a pajama morning Friday and it was so nice to be a little lazy. We are usually rushing out the door to school or somewhere else in the morning so the boys were excited to be home and play with toys in the morning. Hudson still loves his cars and plays with them all day long.

Hudson had a really great parent teacher conference this past week. He has one of the most fantastic teachers I have ever met. According to Miss Amy Sue, Hudson is excelling in academics, but more importantly she stressed the compassion and kindness he gives to the other kids in his class, many of which have special needs (Hudson is a peer model). She said he gets just as excited as they get when they achieve something new and is the first to help them if someone needs something. He is still developing some social skills but she gave us ways to encourage his growth and he has already shown big strides over the past 2 months.

This past week, the mother of another classmate stopped me to tell me how excited her little girl gets when she asks if she is ready to go to school to play with Hudson. When I was telling him this story, he replies, I wish "Stephanie" said that! She is clearly his BFF right now and we might even go to say "first crush".

Hudson also asked us how to spell "DVD" this week. When he started to sound it out, he realized quickly how to spell it and got so excited he had figured it out. Ha. I guess that is a good first step to spelling!
