This is what happens...

This is what happens when you have 4 big brothers! You don't look at things the in same way as most 5 year olds, things aren't so innocent. Hudson's assignment at school was to make a Humpty Dumpty. He did... but made a MUMMY version of humpty dumpty. It's pretty funny I have to admit.

See, Hudson didn't grow up on the usual "diet" of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers, it was more like Jurassic Park, King Kong and air-soft wars, you catch my drift. He knows things a 5 year old shouldn't know, and he has a sense of humor beyond his years. Sometimes, it's entertaining and sometimes, I get looks like what the heck!? :) When he was three his favorite color wasn't blue or red, it was camouflage (is that normal?). This month he asked if he could be a zombie for Halloween, really?! I told him, "no 5 year old should be a zombie, they usually want to be superman or a knight, and you need to be something a 5 year old should be"! Which is bizarre, because it's not like any of my boys have been zombies... ( I am not a fan of gore)

I tried my best to preserve his innocence and shelter him, I swear I did but pointing fingers at his teenage brothers... when Hudson would watch his Nick Jr. or Sprout shows, his brothers would sit and do a sort-of Mystery Science Theater with the shows. Hudson quickly caught on to their tone and then banned the show! So, while they were at school I'd do all I could to cram in toddler/preschool appropriate shows and books.

Luckily, we've hit a happy medium and he watches shows about animals now. Preschool and Kindergarten have given him an appreciation for younger things.

It's not all bad, I am half laughing at all of this. Hudson adores his big brothers and they adore him. All in all they are very good examples to him. But when people ask, don't you want a daughter??? Can you just imagine, insanity- I'll wait for granddaughters!
