Warning, this is going to be a mush fest.
This morning I got a text from a mom of Bear's classmate. It started with, "V--- is the sweetest... " Apparently, he has been her son's staunch defender in school - about something I will not elaborate on. Let's just say it was relevant enough that a teacher brought it to her attention. The story got me a bit teary and a lot proud. It was another moment that made me think... I gave birth to a 30-year-old man. From the things he says and does, to his uncanny way of reading people, even his taste in music....
Dude, what is up with you? Why are you too cool for words?
Our little cool dude loves this song by Skint and Demoralised. It's a sweet Brit-pop tune that even Chicha likes and it's on heavy rotation on the way to school these past weeks. I think this would currently be No. 1 on DJ Baby Bear's Carpool Top 40. This one's for you Baby B... with all my LOVE, LOVE and LOVE.... your Mama forever and ever, amen.
P.S. The name of the song is Red Lipstick, Loose Women is the BBC talk show in which it was performed. Nothing R-rated on this clip or the lyrics, don't worry....

Things every child should do before the age of 10 - you can cross "stand up for a friend" off your list. :)
Yup yup Barn... that one gets a check mark : )
Nana, you should see him dance his robot moves to this song! You can make him fill up your ipod if you like : )
