Don't Tell Me What I'm Gonna Be...

March 22, 2012

Hudson,
It's already started and you are not even 4 years old! You are one intelligent, independent, strong-willed hardheaded little boy- you're amazing!

So today, I kept singing this one song and a few other songs- pop/hip/hop songs from the radio. I would some linea and you would continue- you totally know the words- its amazing. You got that from your Mamma :). I said "You're going to be a great musician one day.... If you want to be." You said, "Mamma, don't tell me what I'm going to be. I will choose what I want to be when I grow up." Is this a 3 year old or a teenager speaking to me? Yes, my baby said this! You are a leader and a driver and a winner- that's 100% for sure! You are 3 years old! I swear you have always been a little man- you're beyond your years.

....And Hudson, you are a unique star and you can be anything you want to be- anything. I want you to know that it is absolutely your choice whatever you decide to be and do with your life and Daddy and I will always support and love you in whatever you decide to do with your beautiful life. All we want is to build your foundation- for you to know right from wrong and choose right, for you to be humble and kind and for you to help others.... The rest is up to you...

I love you little man, Mamma

Japanese Maple Leaf Drums 4-17-11

Hudson,

Today you were playing your Japanese Maple Leaf and sticker bush drums. This is one of your favorite drumming spots. You are very creative. The top of the iron stair rail is your microphone, the Japanese Maple Leaf is your cymbal, the sticker bushes are your drums. You jam out and sing your songs. You write your own songs! Your big song right now is, "I don't want to do what you do every single day ay ay ay ..." It's so precious the way you hang on to the end of the word "day." These lyrics seem very fitting for an obstinate boy like you, my love. You told me, "Mamma, you sing and I will play the drums." Then, get this, you told me what to sing, which was, "You're a pretty girl, but you don't know me ee -ee -ee." I swear! Can you believe these lyrics? Too much! You like to sing about pretty girls. You like pretty girls, let's face it.
"Mamma, mamma, you're so pretty," is my favorite!

I love you amore, Mamma

You make up your own songs. It's precious! It's also very clever. You are a songwriter as well as a musician. My very favorite song so far is "I love you mamma. You're so pretty." That was the best song ever! Today, you were drumming and singing, "I'm gonna be in a band when I'm a big boy." Hudson, I am sure you are going to be in a band. I will be shocked if you're not. I love you amore mio, my heart. xo Mamma
