Why I love Hudson, the toddler!

Hudson the gardener!

Mom lets him plant & water his own flowers. What a happy mess! We hope the drowned seeds will grow!

Toddlers are a great source of enlightenment!

I have held this little feller in my arms, loved & learned from him since birth to his recent 18-month birthday. He is a delight!

He laughs a lot & forgives quickly:

By accident, I stepped on his toe- ouch! He wails briefly, I apologize, embrace him, and pour cold water on his toe & within minutes he hugs me, kisses my cheek, then moves on to play as nothing happened.

Hudson loves people, kids & animals. He shares his toys & snacks with others. He is delighted when he gets help making playdough characters, drawing, coloring, or building with Lego blocks.

So here I share a pictorial of the little guy with untold energy & zest for exploration of the nature of things!

A jewel of a boy in the flower shop!

Flowers are arranged in bouquets for Mom’s customers. Hudson is ready to help snip stems & add beauty to the flower vase in an awkward way. But hey, that help is free!

Chow time!

Employees need a break to eat & maintain energy. Good flower shops help slobber up their favorite chicken & pasta!

After sweating in the flower shop, snacking later in the nude is allowed!

Chin-licking veggies & chicken! Yum!

Hudson’s best Dad in the world parks at the lake, to snack, feed the ducks, & watch the water ripples.
