Because I Love Her...

May 24, 2011

Hudson,
We met Coco and Miss Rachel at the park today. You all were so cute. She was trying to hang on everything and climb up everything you were. She wanted to climb way up high like you, but you were too high in most instances. Hudson, you are monkey! Coco is so sweet and dainty and she doesn't need to be doing some of the crazy, daring things you do. You are truly fearless. You are now climbing on the very top of the jungle gym, as high as you can get (too high!). I spend half the time telling you to be careful or "No, come down."

When it was time to go, you got cranky, whiny and distant. You were not being very nice to Coco. She was trying to hug you, but you would not hug her and you always hug Coco. In fact, one time you were so excited to play with her at the mall, you ran to her and hugged her so hard that you knocked her down. It was funny/sad! Today, you wouldn't hug her bye bye. I felt so bad for Coco. She is the sweetest. You did give Miss Rachel a hug.

Hudson, it is important that you properly say hello and goodbye, always. When we say goodbye to people we love, we hug and kiss them. When we got into the car, I got onto you. I told you that it was not OK that you were not being nice to Coco. I asked you, "Why did you not want to say good bye or hug Coco?" You said to me, "Because I love her." This just about sums up everything. It's such a little boy to be mean to a girl he likes.

Baby, when you love someone, you always treat them with respect, kindness, love, and affection - give them hugs and kisses and make them feel special. You have so much love in your heart Hudson. Sometimes, I think your heart could explode with love. You don't know how to handle it at times and you shut down. I hope you can always express your feelings and keep your heart open my love. I know that it is hard sometimes, but when you open your heart, love comes, and the only thing worth having in this world is love. You don't need anything, but to be loved and to love in return.

I love you amore mio, Mamma
