Turn the lights on Mamma 2-17-11

Hudson,

Ok you said maybe the cutest thing ever tonight. Daddy read you books and put you in your crib. I came in to say night night. You said, "Mamma, turn the lights on." I said, "Baby, it's time to go night night." Drum roll.... boom boom boom... You then said, "Mamma, turn the lights on. I want to see your pretty face." Are you just a slice of apple pie? You just about melted my heart. Music to my ears. Boy, am I in trouble. Are you going to be saying this to the ladies? If so, there will be a lot knocking at your door - that face, that brain, that charm. Boy oh boy! Trouble!

You say the cutest things. You are so funny Hudson. You truly have a sense of humor and you have since you were very young. Even your teachers see it. Annette sees it. You make us all laugh. You just have this funny way about you. I asked you for a bite of your dinner. Daddy and I do this because you don't like to share. Haha. You said, "Mamma, you can go get your own bowl and have your own spaghetti and spinach." The way you said it was just hilarious, hard to convey in writing. It's very logical too and you always come up with logical responses. I will write about that another time. We battled out siesta today. You started in your crib. You kept crawling out and walking into my room. I told you I was going to have to put you back in your crib, and you said, "Well...I am just gonna keep getting out of that crib." It was hard not to laugh, the way you said it.

This morning, you went to a play date at The Lamplighter School. It was a play date interview. Can you imagine? I never thought we would be in this school game, but here we are. Seems you have no choice in Dallas. We are on lists, I have had to fill out applications and write long essays, we have visited tons of schools, you have had to have a speech test, you already had a one on one interview at St. Alcuin Montessori. It has been endless. This was your first play date though, so I was nervous (did not show it though). We had to go to the school and a few teachers come and take you all in little groups and play with you. I guess they watch you all and who knows what they are looking for. It's all kind of ridiculous. I know that you are a superstar. I told you we had a play date meeting. I was going to the meeting to meet with other Mommys and you were going to get to play with Coco (she goes to your present school and was going to be there). We were walking in and you immediately were suspect. You are so intuitive and smart. Your mind starts going and trying to figure things out. You said, "Mamma, I want to go to your meeting." So precious. I said, "Baby, you get to go play and have fun while mommy meets with the other Mommys," and you started crying. Poor my baby. I was feeling so bad, but I knew you would be ok so I stood strong. I told you how much fun you were going to have. A teacher tried to come up and console you, but you wanted no part of it. You saw the other kids putting on their name tags on, and we put yours on and you started to calm down. Then, they called your group. I was nervous and you looked so sad, but the teacher picked you up out of all the kids, and I said, "I'll see you in 30 minutes. Have fun baby." You just gave me that weepy look, but you weren't crying. Of course, you came out like a champ. The teacher said you did great. You told me you had fun in your play date meeting and you told me again later that day, "Mamma, I had fun at my play date." I was so happy! You are well-rounded and I knew you could do it!

This morning before we went to our play date, you and Daddy were having breakfast. Daddy was holding his morning cup of joe and you said to him, "Daddy, I want to grow up to be a Daddy like like you. I can grow up and have coffee." Daddy thought it was so precious and it was!

I love you my love, Mamma
