I'm Calling Him "Jumbo"! My Sweet, Sensitive Baby.

April 2, 2013

Hudson,

You are a very sensitive and good-hearted little boy. We have always known how sensitive you are, but we are really trying to channel it and understand it this year. Its a gift my precious baby!

So, I turned on the old "Dumbo" today- the Walt Disney one from the 40s. I thought it would be cute and innocent. Well, I forgot the story. When the stork delivers dumbo, his mom actually names him "Jumbo," but the other elephants were mean because he had big ears and called him "Dumbo" instead. Then, everyone started making fun of him and the ring master took him away from his mamma elephant. Hudson, you got upset and said "Uh uh. I'm not watching this. This is not a good movie. Im calling him Jumbo. Those elephants making fun of him are my stupid list," and then, you turned it off. My sweet sensitive baby!

Always remember that everyone is different, but everyone is equal. Stick up for those who need your help. It's not what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside, and somehow, at 4, I think you understand that!

I love you baby and your heart is beautiful, Mamma

Father's Day

June 19, 2011

Today we celebrated Father's Day. You helped me make Daddy a card yesterday and get his presents together. This morning, we brought Daddy a cup of coffee in bed. Then, you went and got all his presents. You walked in our room and said, "Happy Father's Day Daddy!!" You say it in the cutest, sweetest voice and I wish you could hear yourself talk at the age of three. Daddy and I always comment on your voice. It's the most precious little baby voice. So, then, you basically opened his presents. You get so excited about surprises and presents! You think they are all for you. We got Daddy a mini Foosball table (for both of you), some beautiful POLO shirts, and Hermes cologne. Daddy was happy. Then, I made you all turkey bacon, wheat pancakes and a fruit bowl. Then, we all went to church. You were so excited that I was going to church with you all. Usually, Daddy takes you and Mamma takes an hour and a half to relax.

We spent the rest of the day mostly relaxing at the home. It was 102 degrees here in Dallas and it's hard to do anything when it's that hot except go to the pool. However, you weren't feeling great so we opted out. We ended up going to a movie, 'Mr. Popper's Penguins', and you were happy as a clam while you ate Skittles and popcorn. The minute you were done, you said, "I'm finished, let's go." It was a cute movie, but just a little too grown up for you. It's funny, you either take to a movie immediately or you don't.

My sweet baby went downhill from there and you fell asleep in the car at 5pm. We put you in our bed and you slept until 6:30. You rarely sleep at 5 like that. I can't remember the last time that happened. You woke up burning up. I gave you some medicine and you took a shower with Daddy. Afterwards, you said, "I don't want to watch TV. Can we just go to bed?" Off to bed you went. I pray my baby wakes up feeling better. I felt so bad for you my baby. I wish I could take your sickness and put it in me!

Daddy and I hung out, drank wine, ate shrimp and played Yahtzee while you napped. We had so much fun! We all had a nice day for Father's Day!

I wish my Daddy, your Gidi, was here to meet you. He would eat you up. He was colorful just like you. I think about him today and I wish I could hug him.

Happy Father's Day to your Daddy, to your Gidi and to your Big John.

xoxo I love you amore mio, Mamma

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 3-6-2011

OBSESSED! Hudson, you are obsessed with this movie that I rented from Netflix. It is called "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs." You have been very into dinosaurs for sometime now. At first they kind of scared you, but you were still curious. I took you to see the dinosaur exhibit at the Natural Museum of History and you got frightened, but you still wanted to see them. You were curious. The dinosaurs in the exhibit were as big as a house and they would have scared any 2 year old! Now, you are less scared and super fascinated by them.

It is a very big deal that you are so into this movie, because it is the first one you have ever been into. You have not been able to sit still that long. So far, we have only watched 30 minute TV shows. I knew there would be a day when you would get into movies and here we are. You actually sit for an hour and a half, eyes glued. You have never sat this long in front of the TV! It is a nice break to be honest, but I don't want you watching too much TV, I have never wanted you too. We use to never turn the TV on during the day. I would not allow it. It seems now that you are becoming a big boy, we are watching more TV. It's ok, because it is still controlled, but I never want you to be a couch potato! It is just not good. You must always get outside, move around and energize your body. ALWAYS! However, some TV and movies are just fine. Your Mamma loves to get lost in the movies, I always have, since I was little.

I can see why kids watch too much TV. I never understood it before I came a mom. It is really the only time that I get a break.

You wake up saying, "Can we watch the movie?" You love love love it. You have memorized the scenes and all the characters. There is huge Mamma T-Rex and you love her. You also interesting like the big, scary T-Rex named Rudy. After the show, you say, "I like Rudy Mamma." It's so funny how you like the big scary one. You have gone to bed two nights in a row late because of this movie, without a shower ! We never do that. My baby is growing up on me. Sniff sniff.

There is one part where all the animals go into the Chasm of Death to look for their friend, Sid the Sloth. I missed the part and said, "Where are they going?" You look at me all serious and say, "The Chasm of Death." OMG! That's nuts. You are not even 3. Oh also, you freak out in the scene where they first see the dinosaurs. You literally stand, up, clap, laugh and get so excited. It really is the cutest thing ever! Tonight, you, me and Daddy cuddled and watched the movie and it was so sweet.

I love you my love,

Mamma
