The Year of The T-Rex!
August 22, 2011
Hudson,
When this year passes, Daddy and I will be able to sum it up in two words to describe you - T-REX, aka Tyrannosaurus Rex. Hudson, a metamorphosis has happened within you - you are now a T-Rex and not a human being. Where did my baby go? You can literally emulate this 60 million year old angry fossil to a tee. It's a bit frightening, but also rather funny. You know everything about it. If there is a dinosaur that looks similar to the T Rex, you will explain quite logically, "No Mamma, that is not a T-Rex, it has three claws and T Rex's don't have those spikes there (while pointing to an area on the dino's body)." OK, thank you Hudson for explaining that to me.
When you are acting like T-Rex, you literally put your hands close to your belly, holding them close together, to make them smaller, you put two claws out on each hand and you prance like a T Rex. When you read this as an adult, just watch the T Rex in Jurassic park - you can walk just like that T-Rex! You roar loud and we have to say, "No roaring," half the time - when family comes over or we go to a restaurant. When you get really mad, sad, or upset because you can't have something, you go into T Rex mode. Sometimes you just pull it out randomly around people or kids, with a loud roar, and we are like, "He's in a dinosaur phase, what can we tell you?!"
I am not sure what all this means. The T Rex may be your psuedo-self, or your trapped anger coming out in the form of a roar and T-Rex prance! Whatever it is, you have passion for this dinosaur. You love all dinosaurs and have now for the whole year. The T Rex, though, he is your favorite and you are well aware that he is a meat eater and not the nicest of all dinosaurs.
I love you my T REX! YOU ARE MY T REX!!! xoxoxo Mamma
Fun Facts about T Rex:
-Tyrannosaurus means "tyrant lizard king."
-It was 40 feet long
-It was 15-20 feet high
-It weighed 5-7 tons
-Lived in the late Cretaceous Period - about 85-65 million years ago
-Fossil remains were found in the USA (including Texas), Canada and East Asia
-T Rex's arms were only about 3 feet long
-It was one of the largest carnivores in its environment
ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. ask your Siti about my obsession with The Incredible Hulk when I was younger - how I use to make the face and roar like he did... HA!
p.s.s. For later use - Probably not the most gentlemanly thing to do when trying to ask a girl out- roaring at her... Let's leave the roaring for this toddler phase of your life. HAHAHAHA. I love you!
You can emulate the T Rex to perfection. It's crazy. You walk around like this a lot, even at the beach in Rockaway, NY.

I love you to the Couch....
August 16, 2011
Hudson,
My heart just melts when you say things. It's like the sun is shining brightly on me. So, I was putting you to bed - we said our prayers, we kissed and hugged and we always talk after. We either talk about how we are going to meet in our dreams - usually at the beach, which I have blogged about before. Tonight, we talked about how much we love one another. I will stretch my arms out and say, "I love you so much, I can't stretch my arms out far enough," and you will say the same and stretch your arms out. Then, I will say, "I love you all the way to the moon and the outer galaxies." You said to me tonight, "I love you all the way to the moon, outer space and to erf (Earth)." Is that ths sweetest thing alive? How do you even know these things? Then, you said, "I love you to the cowds." I said, "To the couch?" You thought it was hilarious. You laughed so hard, an intoxicating laugh, and I was laughing hard too. You said, " To the cowds Mamma!" I said, "You love me to the couch?" We were both laughing so hard. Then, I said, "Oh, the clouds. You love me to the clouds." Such a special moment. Brings tears to my eyes. God, I love you Hudson, my Hud, my heart, amore mio, mi amor, my love, vita mia....

It's 95 Degrees - Yay!
August 11, 2011
So, Dallas is a basically a desert in the summer. We have had almost 40 days of 100 degree temperature or higher. This was some kind of a record. Needless to say, we can't go outside much unless we go to the pool. The last week was 107, 108, 110, 111. Crazy hot and no fun to be outside. It's like opening an over door and sticking your head in.
So, it was 95 degrees today and it was like a cool wave had blown through. People were out walking, which I haven't seen in months. We went to the park, which we haven't done in months. You climbed on top of the tunnel. You are so much bigger bow. I remember when you were just a baby trying to get up on that jungle gym and I'd help you, and now, you are a little monkey. You were so proud. You climb everything! Of course you had to climb on top of it instead of it (you always take the road less traveled by). You liked the challenge. The last time we were there, you could not do it, but the bigger boys were and you remembered.
We came home and played with Gracie and Codi in the backyard. You and Gracie had a little tug of war game! The question is - is it sad when you are happy it's 95 degrees outside? Haha. We had a great time!
I love you, Mamma
