The Dragon

I already revealed that for a few weeks we called Corbin our little "Benjamin Button."  Hudson's nickname is not much more endearing, although it is quite fitting.  We often call Hudson, "The Dragon."  Now I know, dragons often have a scary image and are known for breathing fire and for wreaking havoc.  And yes, that is part of their territory.   

But let's not forget, that dragons often have softer, sweeter sides too.  Just think of Donkey's girlfriend in Shrek.  She could be both feisty and sweet (as demonstrated above and below). 

Hudson is the same way--he so clearly has two moods.  When he's mad--everyone knows it, and you better WATCH OUT.  He screams, his face turns beat red, and he even gets beads of sweat on his upper lip.

And sometimes, he likes to be grumpy just for the sake of being grumpy.

And he doesn't breathe fire, but he does breathe spit up, which leaves us all taking for cover and screaming for back-up.

Lastly, just like dragons, our little Hudson can fly.  Or at least  he thinks he can fly.

As much as we tease Hudson for his spirited ways and love for drama, we wouldn't have him any other way.  Because although he can be pretty grumpy, he can also be pretty darn lovable and cute.  Everyone needs a little "dragon" in their lives, and we are blessed to have ours.
