Today he turned the big seven. And time still keeps passing us on by. It’s wild and crazy. Tonight Harper said “You’ll definitely cry when I turn 12.” I responded with “Of course I will, but you big kids are really fun too.” Because they are. I was never much of a baby person. I don’t find myself longing for their baby days or wishing we had another baby…give me all the big kids of the world…and my big kids aren’t even technically that big yet, but they feel ginormous so I think really the best is yet to come…and probably the hardest as well 😉
I think Hudson will forever and always be our sensitive thinker. Since the moment he could speak he has been asking deep, intense questions. Almost every other day he stumps me with a question about God or Jesus or heaven. His heart is crazy kind. He loves hard and big and he wears every single emotion on his sleeve. There is never any wondering as to how Hudson feels about something. Never. He’s the kid who asked for a surprise party and is going to actually be totally surprised by the surprise party he requested…and all the party guests can’t wait because they know he is the perfect kid for this. It makes me break out in a full on ear-to-ear grin every time I think about it.
He builds magnificent lego creations. He thinks about creating and building almost all day long. He’s an engineer and thinker. He is terrified, I mean terrified of spiders, but the kid will ride head on into a mountain biking course and over ramps and obstacles and never flinch. He marches to the beat of his own drum and it’s a pretty sweet beat. He’s a complimenter and a good friend. He asked for black, blue and red Star Wars pancakes and upon seeing them said “Mom, these are just amazing.” He makes you feel good.
He was born with a furrowed brow and has pretty much kept it his entire life…always contemplating or thinking. Food and Star Wars and legos are his love languages. I can’t believe the kid is seven. Time really does fly when you’re having fun. And what an honor and privilege it is to be his momma. We are so thankful to God for his sweet life.
Hudson Kelley, I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again & again, you my son are a world changer. You are simply extraordinary! Love you tons!
Happy 7th Birthday Hudson!
