Play Date with Coco

Hudson and Coco Hanging...

8-15-11

Today, we met Ms Rachel, Coco and baby Vivian at the mall for lunch. You and Coco were so excited to see one another. You two were down right precious. You all were holding hands and hugging non stop. At one point, you had your arm around her like a little brut - you kind of put it around her and grabbed a little. Sweet, dainty Coco said, "Ouch," but it was so cute! You sure are going to be a heartbreaker Hudson. You like the girls and they like you. What am I going to do??

Coco will be going to a different school now - The Lamplighter School - and you will be starting St. Alcuin, but Ms Rachel and I hope to keep you all in touch. You get along so well. We will miss Saint Michael, our class there and we will miss definitely miss seeing Coco and Ms Rachel every Monday and Wednesday morning.

I love you little Don Juan.... Mamma xoxox

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

I'm a big boy... 2-5/11

Hudson,

You are 2 years and 10 months old here, but you look 5! I showed your Aunt Shannon this picture and she was like, "He looks so much older!" You have always looked like a little man, since you were a baby. Look, you have one amazing head of hair, like your Daddy. You had a full head of hair at 11 or 12 months old, which made you look older. I look at some of your baby pictures and I wish I would have put you in more smocked baby clothes, because you always look so much older in all your pictures. You are growing so fast and I want to freeze time, because you are absolutely precious right now - MY BABY! You will always be my baby.

Hudson, you also have always been very physically advanced. Your Father and I are not the only ones who notice this. You grew fast, you had a mouth full of teeth quickly, you crawled fast and you walked fast. You were always at the top of the charts for height and weight. You have a friend named Coco, she is in your class. You met Coco when you all were about 8 months old in Kindermusik class, although you wouldn't remember, haha. You all were reunited at 2 years old at Saint Michael and All Angel school. Coco was always so small and dainty. I remember her in music class and she was learning how to crawl and she was so tiny. Her Mamma, Rachel, said to me the other day, "I remember Hudson in that first music class, he was like walking talking and had a mouth full of teeth and Coco was still tiny!" You have always bee physically advanced. We shall see what that means in the future.

I love you my love, Mamma
