Potty trainingThere's not a prouder moment when one of your children makes it big. My son Ernesto is no exception. We adopted Ernesto when he was just a dirty baby bootie we found in the drawer of an antique dresser. By the way, Ernesto happens to be a sock monkey!
He made it big last weekend when he was featured on the latest Kia car commercial during the Superbowl. He really didn't start his modeling and acting career until I took him to a "bring your children to work" day when I was working for an advertising agency. He was featured on a Christmas card and did some undergarment modeling, but nothing too big.
That's when he decided to move to L.A. to jump start his acting career. His Mom and I were worried, being out in L.A. unsupervised. After all, who would do his laundry (especially his socks!). He got into some trouble and actually got a tattoo sewn on his arm that said "Mom" on it. Mom was not amused. He did manage to stay in touch, but since the commercial we haven't heard as much from him. We have fond memories of him and his siblings that we also raised from booties.
Visit the Kia site to see Ernesto's commercial. I am so proud!
I have also attached some photos of Ernesto during the formative years of his life. I hope you enjoy. Ernesto - if you happen to see this, call your Mother!!!
