January 12, 2011 Get it factor

Hudson,

Hudson, you are so smart. You have the get it factor. You understand abstract ideas at a very young age. You throw a penny in the fountain and make a wish, always the same one, "I wish for Ella." Yesterday, we were playing with your animals and your little make believe kitchen. You were feeding all the animals. I was pretending to be the voice of them. I acted like Cookie Monster and said, "I want my food," and you said, "Be patient Cookie Monster. I am cooking it." I had never heard you say this before. I couldn't believe it. You listen and observe everything. To even understand the concept of patience at your age is baffling to me. I love you amore mio, my heart... your one and only mamma
