it's on

Lord help me, I think I've met my match in my youngest. He is one feisty little dude. But darn it if he isn't the CUTEST thing ever. So that pretty much equals a spoiled(manipulative) and hard to discipline 3 year old. Just some recent Hudson tidbits I don't want to forget so I am putting them here...

*he is in the middle of doing ANYTHING that he has been asked not to do or asked to stop doing and the standard response (while engaging in said violation) "i not doing any-fing" with innocent hands in the air

*he hits. all the time. with his hands, with his blanket, with toys...and he thinks he's playing with you. and after he hits you he has the most evil laugh. i'm going to try to get it on tape.

*yesterday he was totally disobeying me and i turn to get onto him (and moved toward him to give him the forewarned spanking) and he ran across the room and said "haha you can't spank me". karma did kick in though because he then put his blanket on his head covering his eyes and continued walking and taunting me right into the stair banister.

*our neighbor cecilia calls him her boyfriend and teases him all the time. she is originally from peru and speaks several languages, including spanish, and has an accent. today at the pool she said to hud "i have a boyfriend and his name is...?" and hud said "chico!"

i love that kid. i hope he's not the death of me :)
