I�ve been getting a lot of fan mail for Lukie (my son Luke has a few nicknames from his mama as you can tell. And Mama is Nat’s name for me.) because recently he’s been doing mama a big favor and allowing me to use him to demonstrate the Sidekick diaper bag by Parents of Invention which is a kicka$$ invention � come on, I mean, it’s great to have a diaper bag and a child carrier all in one right? I am getting off track, if you want to see my Sidekick diaper bag review, just read my review by clicking here.
Anyway I was the first media person and mom product review writer to show the Sidekick on TV and online. (Once again, another Savvy Mommy exclusive. lol)
But back to Luke.
In the past two weeks, quiet Mister Luke was on NBC, CBS and tomorrow will be on The WB helping me demonstrate the Sidekick diaper bag.
And he has always been very quiet on air. The second we go to commercial he starts talking to the anchor. It’s really funny. As soon as the segment airs, emails start coming in about him. They even came in when he was recently in Parents magazine with his sister. And honestly, they are a little overwhelming so here are my answers to the most common questions for Luke -
Was the television segment I saw today Luke’s first appearance on TV?
No, Luke’s debut television appearance was on FOX the day he turned six months old. He was helping my friend Jess who needed another baby to model one of her “My Mom is Hotter than Your Mom” baby tees.
Does Luke have an agent?
No, Luke does not have an agent and we are not looking for one. His sister doesn’t have one either. Neither does his mother.
Is Luke’s hair naturally that curly? How do you get Luke’s hair like that?
His hair is naturally like that. It has never been cut and I don’t plan to cut it right now. His hair is full of curls, really small neat ones in the back and a mess of them in the front.
What shirt was he wearing?
On NBC he wore an “I will walk when I’m good and ready” tee shirt from Honest Baby .
On CBS he wore a light blue Baby Energy shirt.

Crain’s New York Business featured Savvy Mommy this week in the New York, New York section. I don’t think any other events from today can top that. 
What a nice way to start a Monday.

Last Summer I sat out taking Natalie to Sesame Place eventhough she could be Grover’s biggest fan because her brother was not even 2 months old when she had her birthday party and I didn’t really want to travel with him in the car for hours unless we really had to.
So I’ll admit I definitely wasn’t prepared for what I saw today while at Sesame Place. It was supposed to start with a calm lunch with the Sesame Place characters. Oh, who am I kidding.. Natalie was so excited to see Elmo, Cookie Monster and Zooey she didn’t eat and refused to let Elmo leave the picnic area.
Poor Elmo sat with her and drank water with her until she calmed down. (And then a Sesame Place staff member went and got her milk with a straw because she was afraid to leave Elmo and get one herself.) It clearly was a dream come true to be surrounded by the Sesame characters and I think next time she will not be as excited because she will know what to really expect.
It rained a bit towards the end of the day but the Sesame Place parade still went on and as Natalie sat on the sidelines and watched Oscar, Bert, Telly and a character or two that I don’t even know. I could see she was very happy to be at Sesame Place and was really enjoying the parade, the different activities and even let me take a few photos of her in front of signs throughout Sesame Place. (I video taped a bit of the Sesame Parade with my Pure Digital Camcorder and I’ll put it up on the site when I get a chance.) After the parade, she finally wanted to eat so we went to one of the many restaurants selling Elmo containers of chicken fingers and fries and chocolate milk and she ate a late lunch.
When we were ready to leave, after a quick stop in the gift shop for Sesame Place crayons, lunchbox and an extremely lifesized Grover doll, she met her favorite Sesame character — Grover. He was about to go in for a break but we managed to get a photo with the Canon digital camera and the Sesame photographer took one of her as well which we of course bought so she could have an official photo of her first Sesame Place visit.
I’m sitting here thinking about her 3rd birthday… if I can get a weekend off from work, I’m thinking of taking her to Beaches Turks & Caicos so she can see all her favorite characters again otherwise we may just head back to Sesame Place for another day trip.
