VBS and a 3rd Tooth

We've had a very busy, but very fun week. It all started with Vacation Bible School -- we went to "Cactus Canyon" at the Advent on Monday. I was teaching the twos & threes so Thomas was in my class. All day he kept saying "Mommy, thanks for being my teacher." And at the end of the day, he said that when he grew up he wanted to be a teacher too. It was really sweet. He is a charmer...

On Tuesday, Thomas started the summer session at Early Arts, and Hudson and I were back at VBS. Hudson was working on another tooth so you can only imagine how much fun he was in the nursery all week. My classrom was right next door to the nursery and we had tons of teen volunteers so I could pop over to help calm him. Thankfully, Hudson's 3rd tooth (bottom, right of center) finally broke through on Wednesday so Thursday was a better day for him. He made it all morning (well, 3 hours) without me! He even took some of his bottle and a nap! At the Celebration Dinner for VBS on Thursday night, it seemed that everywhere we went a teen volunteer was saying, "Awwww, there's Hudson." I guess he's a little charmer, too.

Hudson is trying out his new tooth a lot these days. Matthew let Hudson try some watermelon at the VBS Celebration dinner (thankfully, he just licked it!). Don't think that really counts as starting solids... And I'm not sure watermelon is listed as a good "first food" -- Ha! As for practicing with his teeth, I certainly prefer that he use his toe as a chew toy when the alternative is my shoulder --ouch!
