My Little Man...

5-23-11

Hudson,

You seem like such a big boy today. I don't know what it is, but it's like you got a little bit older today. I let you stay up until 9 tonight, which I don't often do. However, now that you have gotten a little bit older, I let you stay up late once in awhile. When you were younger, no later than 7:30 and sometimes 7, and that was law! You were laying on our bed tonight, ear phones in, watching a movie on my Mac and you just seemed like a little man. Sniff sniff. I want to cry! These days are so precious and I know they will not last forever. I told Daddy, "One day, he will be a teenager, remote control in hand, flipping through the television stations until he gets tired." Watching you grow is the most beautiful and intriguing thing I have ever seen. My baby! You will always be MY BABY.

You know Hudson, you always were a little man, from birth. You always looked older and acted older. Plus, you had all that hair. You have always been my little man.

"This are the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever.
These are the days to hold onto
Cause we won't although we'll want to.
This is the time, but time is going to change.
I know we have to move somehow,
But I don't want to lose you now."
-Billy Joel, These Are The Times to Remember

I love you amore mio, Mamma
