My morning lecture
So this morning Hudson, Naomi and I were on the way to Hudson's school. Over the last few weeks I've been helping my sister by watching her son. Hudson was asking me why I had to watch him and I explained that his mommy works. Then I asked him if he liked the fact that his mommy stays home with him. He thought about it for a while and then proceeded to tell me about how he doesn't really need me anymore. WHAT!?!? He informed me that he needs Daddy and his grandparents, but not mom. So, I thought I would remind him of all the things I do for him... wash his clothes, prepare his meals, etc., etc.. Surely this will convince him. But, he still insisted that he didn't need me. Well, needless to say I was very broken- hearted. How could my 4 yr old think he doesn't need his mama? Anyway, we'll see how well this theory holds up when his shoes come untied again!

Oh Alisia. The reasonings of a 4 year old, dying to be independent yet not realizing how much you do for him!
It reminds me of a Mother's Day card that Jamie gave to his mom when he was 5. It said, "My mama don't do nothing for me. I'm just glad she's my mama." We laugh everytime we are together because now he realizes exactly how much she did for him- Everything to be exact!
One day Hudson will realize the same thing... it will probably happen before the day is over! You are a great Mommy and what a blessing it is for our children to have moms who stay at home!
Alisia! I think I'd cry if Lauren said that to me. Luckily, she is not talking yet ;)
Parenting is truly a work of the Lord. I never realized how much my parents gave of themselves until I became a parent.
Thanks for sharing. Hope all is well with your family!
Hang in there Alisia! My boys have said crazy things like that to me too. They don't think in all the small details.
He needs you, he just doesn't realize quite how much. He's trying to be grown up. Don't lose heart!
You are a WONDERFUL mom, Alisia! You know Hudson needs you! He'll realize that! Keep up the great work!
Silly little boy! It's amazing some of the wild and wacky things kids say, and I think this one takes the cake. He loves you dearly Alisia, he just doesn't know what he'd be missing...until it is gone. I have no doubt that you are a fantastic momma. Take care and keep those little babies as precious as ever!
Awww. . .that is so sweet, and so sad at the same time! Silly Hudson! He is the one who would be heart-broken if you were gone for even a few days, I bet! Keep up the good work, Mama! :) - Penny
Alisia, I can relate! Nicholas always 'loved' me the most...up until he hit about 4 1/2 - 5yrs old. I can remember him always wanting to be w/ me...choosing me over Daniel, etc. and Daniel would say, 'when will he choose me first!'. Hehe...and it happened! :) BUT, it's a good thing b/c yes, boys need their mommy's and always will...BUT...they really need their dads. They need them for the strong leadership-I love it now that Nicholas goes straight to Daniel for things and they have developed such a strong father/son bond. He still wants me and does thinks w/ me...but I encourage him to be w/ Daniel as much as possible. So be thankful (I know you are), for Davin...for what a great leader he is, what a great father he is...that he is such a strong Christian example of what a dad/man/father/husband should be...that he loves Hudson, spends time w/ him, PLAYS with him! So important! Love you lots!!!!
Hudson needs you!! Zachary thinks the bird is a hawk. I miss you sooooo much. I hope to call you soon. gina
