You don´t qualify to apply for Canadian citizenship.
To qualify for Canadian citizenship, you must have physically lived in Canada for three out of the last four years on the date you submit your application.
The fact that you have been traveling with your Canadian citizen husband outside of Canada allows you to count these days towards the Canadian permanent residency obligation. In other words, the fact you were living with your Canadian husband outside of Canada allows you to keep you Canadian PR status for this period without actually living in Canada.
However these days CANNOT be counted towards citizenship. Again, for citizenship, you must physically live in Canada for 3 out of 4 years before applying. The fact you have a Canadian citizen child has no impact / makes no difference.
If Canadian citizenship is important to you, then you need to move to Canada and live there until you have enough residency days to apply.

You are not eligible for citizenship and it is CANADIAN not Canidian. That´s not even a word.
