Hudson Briana Me

Hudson is back to really eating everything he was eating before-so relieved. He has been scheduled to get his tonsils out at the end of the month. We hope this will help his eating and sleeping issues. I feel bad because I'm not sure how long his tonsils have been so big. It may have started back in December when he started to have sleep issues. I never thought of sleeping to be related to tonsils. It's always scary to have your kids go under but he needs this to get better. I'm just hoping he isn't re-traumatized by the surgery experience. You never know with Hudson.

I've spent so much time talking about Hudson; let's talk about Briana. She is doing so well in everything. She gets good "grades" and works hard in class and loves making new friends. A few weeks ago I got to watch her sing with her class on stage-so cute! She's also being recognized at a community egg hunt this week for a character award. She isn't quite the same at home. She's still wonderful, of course, but I don't get paid the same attention as her teacher does. Why is that :) ? She has been fibbing to us lately about brushing her teeth at night. When we ask her if she did it she will say yes when she hasn't. When we then talk to her about lying she bursts into tears and runs from the room.  I can understand being embarrassed because you got caught-we all do it. But she's done it several times now. Every time we tell her not to lie and every time she runs crying. So after the third time a parent has to get firm. Now I'm the mean mom. I'm thinking she won't do it anymore.

I'm excited about Easter. I love getting stuff for their baskets and dying eggs and going to hunts. I like to put in more than just candy. This year I got Briana some hair chalk. She's going to love it. I got Hudson a mini Royals bat. It's a little risky on my part but he's so imaginative and it's so fun to watch him play with swords, bats, or any kind of instrument like that. He rarely plays with things the way they are "supposed" to be played with. And he's famous for adding his own sound effects. I don't need TV. I can watch Hudson play.

I take my last test next week-wish me luck! I'm worried because it's harder but I'm hoping I can get by. It will be so much easier to secure a job after I'm certified.
