The Men in My Life

I want to tell you a couple awesome things about the two men in my life.

First my son, Lucca:

He turns 2 tomorrow! I am going to do what I told myself I would never do and brag about how smart he is. (Skip down a few paragraphs if this type of thing makes you want to poke your eyes out with hot s’more roasting rods). He counts to 8 my himself and can sing Twinkle Twinkle in his sleep.  He also has transitioned into sleeping into his own bed like a champ. Last night there wasn’t even any argument about it. Yes, I know. Amazing.  (Want to know the secret? Read what worked for me here).

And now to brag about My Man in Moseley.

He is on billboards in England. Yep, he told me spotted himself on one yesterday. He is hot car model, demonstrating how sexy one can look if they drive that brand of automobile. (Sorry, I’m not going to tell you which automobile that is,  in case it is just too incriminating for him).  Anyways, I am so proud.

But you know what makes me even more proud and happy to be his girlfriend? The fact that he is incredibly thoughtful. Two examples:

1. When I was feeling down last week, he ripped the sweaty shirt off his back and sent it off to me from England to bring me some comfort. It arrived yesterday, still damp, and smelling powerfully of MAN. I loved it. Slept in it and could almost feel him spooning behind me. The olefactory glands are P-O-W-E-R-F-U-L!
2. Last month when I was preparing for my trip to see him, on the day of my flight he arranged for Miley Cyrus a.k.a. Hanna Montana to help me start my busy day by give me the most awesome wake-up call.  He knows both Lucca and I have a thing for Miley Cyrus, but how he knew that Disney had partnered with Wal-Mart to offer free customized wake-up calls and activity reminders from Hannah Montana, is beyond me. All I can gather is that he loves GOOGLE and the internet as much as I do, and that is just one more thing that makes us a beautiful match.

(If you are wondering how you too can receive a special telephone greeting from Hannah Montana, go here:  HannahMontanaCalls.com. If your toddler is having trouble sleeping in his own bed, maybe you can try offering him an “own-bed”  wake-up call of congradulations from Miley? If my luck with Lucca on the sleeping arrangments starts going south, I’m going to give this a try).

Hmmm, one more thought…should the fact that my two year old already has a crush on a pre-teen popstar make me nervous?
