Hudson-Budson

1. He turned nine two weeks ago tomorrow.
2. He has started giving Cooper some competition at the dinner table for who eats the most.

3. He has always been, and always will be, my boy of big emotions. Big highs and big lows.

4. He is really, really good in school and his teacher can't say enough good things about him, but he hates, I mean hates, homework.

5. He is capable of so much more than he thinks he is and when he finally starts to realize it Cooper better watch out.

6. He loves Taggart so much and would do anything for him. It's only too bad that Taggart is not always very good at accepting the love.

7. He really, really hates being in trouble and is always quick to apologize.

8. He loves a peanut butter and banana sandwich, just like me.

9. He would always choose white milk over chocolate milk or juice and takes it in his lunch every day.

10. He is really good at being (sort of) the middle child. He transitions so well from playing with the littles and then holds his own with Cooper and his buddies.

11. He is a perfect little part of our family.

Part one in a series of four.
