Days Like These

I have decided to rename my blog to "Days Like These" after the title of a song by Over the Rhine. Right now in my life I am trying to focus on the days I have, days surrounded by the love of family and friends, days full of sunshine, days full of long talks and coffee, and days of just the mundane. These are all days that I love.

If I can keep up with the blog those are the things that I hope to write about, days that when recalled bring a smile to my lips or even perhaps a tear to my eye!

Big Boy Bed

We finally got Hudson's bed set up. Let's just say it is really big! He loves it so much. He loves being a "big boy".

I remember laying him in his crib (which has turned into his bed) the first time. It is so hard for me to believe that in a few short months my "baby" will be three! I am trying to enjoy each day for the gift it is to me.

On another note Hudson just told me that he was getting married. I asked to who and he said "himself." He is quite the character!

My Boy is Growing Up!

It's so hard to believe that Hudson is two and half years old already! He is a joy and wonderful boy all around!

God is answering my prayers in a big way with this little guy. Ever since Aliyah has had potty training issues, going on two years now! I asked God to let Hudson potty train himself! Guess what?! He is doing it. He loves to sit on the potty and he usually goes every time he sits! Also, he woke up dry today! I am amazed at the goodness of God. Maybe to most potty training isn't a big deal, but for me I think that He knows what I can handle. So, I am thanking Him big time for this blessing.

Hudson is now in an official big boy bed. The picture you see here is the set up we have right now. We have a beautiful sleigh bed that will go in his room and matches with the rest of his furniture. It started out as his crib. We are just waiting until we can get a double mattress, who knows when that will be. I looked on Craig's List yesterday and decided that even if there was a free one up there it would be a little too gross to give my son a used mattress from someone I don't know. Anybody with me on that? So, we will wait and I am sure get him some cute big boy sheets, because he is all about being a big boy!
