Hudson,
This summer you have a new friend, Wesley. Wesley is 11 years old and lives on the street adjacent to ours. He is a special little boy. He is extremely sweet, patient, giving and polite. Truly. You love Wesley for many reasons, one being that he is an older boy and you have always loved older children. Wesley is patient with you. This is not always easy with a 3-year-old who can get angry, irrational and throw tantrums, but he's patient. Sometimes he will come over and you will say, "I don't want to play with Wesley right now." Who knows why you say this, however, Wesley is so patient and waits for you to come around. Of course you do, quickly and you don't want him to leave. You have the best time with him. You all play dinosaurs, swords, jump on the trampoline and and he takes you for rides on the back of his bike.
Wesley came knocking at our door with his friend, Henry, a few months ago. They said they were looking to make extra money and asked if we had any jobs they could do. That's when they started coming over to play with you. Henry comes sometimes, but he spends more time at summer camp and traveling with his family, so you have spent most of the time with Wesley.
Wesley's grandmother was ill and his family came to live in her house and take care of her. She passed away and now they are living in her house - the house that is on Craigmont and basically right behind ours. Wesley is moving back to his house in 6 weeks, which is 30 minutes South of Dallas. We are so sad about this! Wesley's mom has breast cancer, God bless her. So, their family has gone through a lot in the last year. I think Wesley really enjoys coming to our house. We enjoy him so much! He has been a God send.
Last night, we asked Wesley to come have a sleep over. You were so excited! This was your first sleepover besides when Ella came to visit, but she slept with her Mommy in the guest bed room. This is the first time someone slept in the bottom bunk. You LOVED this! You all had so much fun. You stayed up until 10:30! I made you all popcorn and you watched a movie. You were diggin' this. Then, you all finally got in bed and it took you 30 minutes to wind down. You slept until 8:30 the next morning, which you never do. Mommy and Daddy were loving that. It was a special night with Wesley.
What I like most about Wesley is that he is a good example for you. I told him before he started coming over to play with you that he had to set a good example and he does! When you scream, he tells you not to. When you are not nice to Mommy or Daddy, he will say, "You can't talk to your Mom that way." He really is a sweet boy and we are so glad he came knocking on our door.
I love you baby. Mamma
