My Sonshine...

Jude,

Your smile is my sunshine.

You can coax a smile from Mama, even on the gloomiest of days. The way you squinch up your little nose when you ask me a question makes me giggle, every time. You are a charmer, for sure, and can charm the socks off anyone when you decide to. You are so very contagious and you feel every emotion with 100% intensity. There is no lukewarm about you. You are a social-light and everyone loves you. At gatherings you make sure to play with everyone before we leave. I love that you're a peace-maker and will almost always give up what makes you happy for the happiness of others, but my heart aches when I see some already taking advantage of this and I pray that this beautiful trait will not be forsaken by you because of it. You are a love-bug, and Mama's only one. According to you, Eskimo kisses are the greatest thing ever invented. I melt into a big, gooey puddle when you slip your little arms around my shoulders and pat me while you snuggle up close. Every night after prayers you do this and then hold me tight so I can't get away....and it's all I can do to leave you...I'm so proud of your determined spirit. You put everything you have into everything you do. You will not except help from anyone, no matter how spittin mad you get or how long it takes, you will do it! It is because of this I believe you will go far…And no matter how far you go, always remember that your Mama adores you, and I always will.

Mama

Yes, he is quite the charmer. I, too, pray that he will not allow others to hinder his giving spirit and I promise to try my utmost to make sure my boys don't take advantage.
Jude, you are such a cutie and I love how you are liking me more lately. I have had such fun with you lately!

Jude, since the first time I held you, you have had a special place in my heart. As you got older I loved the little flirty looks you'd give me. And now I love that you're one of Preston favorite buddies to be with. We love you so very much and we're so happy you're a happier boy for momma. :)
