Hudson is really in a fun stage where you can carry on a conversation with him and you never know what he's going to say. Sometimes, you can almost see the wheels turning in his head as he's trying to put words together to make a sentence and get his point across. It's fun when it works, but when he knows what he's saying and nobody else can decipher it, he gets pretty frustrated! He's quite the little tattle tale lately, and doesn't forget anything! The days of promising him something later to divert his attention right now, and then forgetting about it are long gone! He points out the park by the Riverwalk that Grandpa takes him to on Sat mornings while I go shopping with Mom and Grandma, and talks about the bridge that they run across and throw rocks off of. He knows the way to certain places, so when we turn off of the highway to go to Great Grandma's house, he knows where we're going, and that she has a piggy light he can turn on and candy for him to eat! He was a hamburger for Halloween, so any time anyone mentions something about Halloween, he'll tell them he was a hamburger and mommy was ketchup. I took him to a Halloween carnival set up for kids at a local church, and he had a blast.(pics below) Everyone was getting a kick out of watching him run from one thing to the next.

Potty training is still hit or miss. He goes just about every time we sit him on the potty, but he rarely tells us when he has to go. I'm sure that will come with time, but until then we just have to make sure we ask him frequently. He does prefer his pull ups, or big boy pants (bo bo fants in Hudson speak) over diapers, which is good, but that doesn't stop him from going in them. Oh well, I guess he'll get it when he's ready and until then there isn't anything anyone can do to make him do something he doesn't want to!
