Angela here! Hudson had another life change this past week. I feel terrible because every two weeks something major happens to the kid. First we took away the pacifiers. Two weeks later we took away his crib. Now he has changed rooms at daycare and is in with the "big kids." And in one week, he'll have to share his parents with a new baby! I'm freaking out over here!! Luckily, my son seems to adapt well to change and is not as stressed out as his mama. He does not ask for a paci anymore, he sleeps through the night and he won't get out of bed till we go get him. Success!
Now his new room at daycare is where they start to potty train, eek! Every two hours, they line the kids up and place them on the potty. And double eek - he's still in cloth diapers. The teachers have not complained (yet) so I'm holding out to buy pull-ups. But Hud seems excited about this new challenge and has actually successfully made the trip to the potty a couple times. He's still young (according to the pediatrician and the baby blogs) to potty train, so we'll see how long the excitement lasts. Chris keeps expressing daunting concerns of having two children in cloth diapers. I keep telling him Pampers makes this awesome product called a disposable diaper, but he refuses to listen.
Another fun festival happened in good ole' Springboro last weekend. The high school hosted a Family Fest with face painting, bounce houses, carnival rides, food and music. So the entire crew headed out to embark on the chaos. Hudson requested his blue sunglasses and I happily obliged...
The boys got their face painted, so we had two Spidermen and one Batman....
And with one week to go, we finally finished the nursery!! Well, it was actually done over a week ago, with everything decorated and hung on the walls. And then I decided the wall paint needed to change. I would say it was a diva moment, but hear me out. The walls were brown before. Not really fit for a little princess. I thought that if I kept adding enough purple, the dark walls would disappear and everything would be girly. But that just wasn't happening. So another Lowe's trip later, Chris painted the room light gray and it looks soooo much better.

Hudson was too short to ride the rides by himself, so Chris happily jumped in to help. It was a good time for all!

We also had our last photos taken as a family of three. Definitely bittersweet and crazy to think how fast time has flown by and how quickly things are about to change. Chris is definitely more nervous about having a girl (aka, he's totally freaking out over here), but I know he'll rock out as a dad just like he did with Huddy. And whether he likes it or not, he'll eventually get a grasp on all the accessories and dolls and glitter and all that sparkles that comes with having a little girl :)
Next week we become FOUR!!!
