Hudson Rock Star

Hudson, my love,

Are you a little rock star or what? Your teacher, Miss Elizabeth (who you love), calls you her "little rock star." Even she sees it. You got a microphone for Christmas and you were jamming out, making up songs, singing like you were in front of an audience. Sometimes, you will say "ladies and gentleman." Is that not most precious thing? You are a songwriter too. You make up your own lyrics, it's awesome. Maybe you will be a songwriter too. WOW.

The pictures of you with your guitar were taken months ago. You had just gotten that acoustic guitar. You freaked out when you got it. You were so happy. You know the difference between and acoustic guitar and an electric guitar. You know it well. You point out acoustic and electric guitars. Dave Haywood of Lady Antebellum plays an acoustic guitar. I TiVoed a lady Antebellum concert for you and you have watched it 100s of times and you will say, "I like Dave's acoustic guitar. It's cool." You know all the members of Lady Antebellum - Charles, Hilary and Dave. It's amazing. You know so many instruments - bass drum, electric guitar, horn, saxophone, piano, harmonica, trombone, flute. You are amazing!

Amore, I love you, Mamma

Back to Back Rock Stars

Hudson,

As you read all the time, we play music for many hours a day. You wake up saying, "Let's go in my music room." We have been dancing, playing instruments and listening to loud music since you were born. When you were a baby, I would cradle you and dance with you, and sometimes, you would fall asleep in my arms - beautiful memories. Mamma totally jams out with you. I play instruments, dance and I sing. I like to sing mostly. Mommy can't play any instruments in real life, but I could always sing. One day, you came out with this move below. You said, "back to back" and you got up against my back and we jammed out. It was the cutest! Daddy took this picture. You may have gotten it from the Lady Antebellum concert you watch. I TiVoed one of their concerts and you have probably watched it 200 times - no joke. Now, you say "back to back" and we instantly do it. I love it! We can jam out, however, you will be the musician, far better than I ever could have been. Learn to play at least one instrument well. Practice often. Practice often. Did I say practice often? I love you my rock star, Mamma
