NO NAPS!
For about the past month Mason's napping has been hit or miss. Luckily he is still having some sort of "Quiet Time" every day. Yesterday he took a great two hour nap. This is the conversation we had when I went to get him after he woke up...
Me: Mason that was a great nap you had. Thanks for taking a nap!
Mason: Me no nap. Eyes nap.
I guess from now on I will ask him to let his eyes take a nap.

Potty Humor
So I decided to start hard core potty training today. I mean, what else is there to do on a cold icy day when we were stuck inside. So I showed Mason his new "Cars" underwear and he was much impressed -- "OHHH! Wow!" I told him that big boys wear underwear instead of diapers and when he has to go pee-pee to tell me so we can go sit on the potty. I put the first pair on him and when I came back from getting the camera this is how I found him...
I kept asking for the next hour if he had to go pee-pee and he would say, "No mommy, no potty!" Well next thing I know he has pee'd through his new undies and pants. No biggie, we have more. I told him that it was OK and next time we can go pee-pee on the potty. Well, about an hour later I hear him yell, "Pold, Pold (pold=cold)!" This time he not only wet his underwear and pants but left a huge puddle on the floor. We got all cleaned up and tried it again. We even took a few extra breaks to sit on the potty. But again a little while later, I hear, "Uh-oh Mommy!"
So, after an all-star effort we are back in diapers. I only bought a 3-pack so we'll have to wait til the laundry is done before we try again!

Funny Mason Pics
Cool Guy...
After seeing Chris doing it, Mason loves to put the pencil behind his ear...
Looks like he forgot his fashion sense...
We're Back....
I know it has been a long time since my last post, but I promise to catch you up on everything that's ben going on. Almost two weeks ago the boys and I went up and stayed at my parents for a week. The first weekend we were there I had my UD Girls Weekend. Mason stayed with my parents and Hudson came with me. I had a really great time and it was wonderful to catch up with the girls. We hung out during the day and then went to Hibachi for dinner. I am happy to report that Hudson was a delight the whole time. UNTIL, bedtime! He woke up at about 11:00 and never went back to sleep. I caught a few seconds of shut-eye while holding him the whole night. After stopping at my grandmothers I wearily drove back to my parents.
Tuesday we got an earlier start and went to Longwood Gardens. Mason had a great time -- especially in the Children's Garden. They have a wonderful display made just for kids with lots of water. He really loved using the paint brushes in the water. **Pictures to come, they are on the other camera**
Wednesday, perhaps the most fun day of our trip, was spent at the Hockessin Walk-In Medical Center. The boys just weren't acting like themselves and Hudson was super-fussy (and he has never had a fussy day in his life). Finally, after 2 hours in the waiting room, another hour in the exam room, and $60 in copays we received the diagnosis -- both boys had double ear infections and sore throats -- YEA!!! They were put on antibiotics and we were on our way.
Thursday we drove back to Virginia, and boy am I thankful for the DVD player in the car. Not sure I could do the drive without it! The boys have finished up their medicine and looks like they are on the mend.
I had a great time up visiting but something tells me my parents were happy to be heading to Florida after the fuss-buggets were gone! 
That afternoon, the Chan's and Jen came over to watch the Eagles and Ravens games. And mom cooked a great dinner for all of us. Monday we attempted to get out for the day but by the time we got ready it was 11:00. We headed for the mall but Mason started falling asleep so we stopped off to play at the Teacher Store. We stayed there until we saw that the snow was beginning to accumulate and headed home. The snow piled up faster than we thought and after a few slips and slides we made it! Mason and I played in the snow for a while. He tried cleaning the snow off of everything -- rocks, trees, cars, etc.

Hudson's 4-Month Check-Up
We had Hudson's 4 month well visit on Monday. It was almost as if he knew what the Doctor was asking; each time she asked me something about him, he would do it -- lift his head, roll over, make eye contact, turn in the direction of a voice. And he smiled the entire time, well except for the shots, when he gave a big pucker and looked up at my with his big sad eyes.
Hudson weighed in at 14 lbs, 3 oz (50%), measured 25 1/4 inches (60%), and his head was in the 70%. He had to get 4 shots and one oral vaccination. Which of course left him with a little fever today.
Mason was very good on our visit. For the first time in 26 months he did not shed one tear or kick and scream when the nurse came in. He brought along his Dr. kit and used all of his tools just like the Doctor. Lucky Hudson, he got to be poked and prodded by the Dr. and Mason!
