I realized today that raising a little boy is way out of my league...
I get Savannah. She is literally a tiny version of me in so many ways. But Hudson Boy? I'm still learning what makes him, him. You would think getting my degree in psychology and having to study birth order and gender differences would have given me some clue, but I'm totally wingin' it. Shhh.
Take these photo's for example. Savannah would have never attempted something like this at his age. She would have been very timid at first, then slowly talked into giving it a try. Hudson on the other hand, was so eager to jump on and "go fast." He was highly frustrated (as you can see above) that attempt one didn't have him circling the loop like he saw his older buddies do a few days before. Instead of giving up though, he tried a few different tactics...one of which was leaning forward in hopes that the momentum would make it go. Adorable. Soon enough he understood how to use his leg to push off and quickly got the hang of it. Hudson may be unfamiliar to me in a few insignificant ways, but our souls are the same. I love this boy so fiercely for his determination and guts. He may be rough and tumble by nature...but they don't come any sweeter.
Xo,
T.
