Happy month of love!  Have you heard the new love song from Bruno Mars?  The parent version goes a little something like this:

“That’s What I Like”

I got a Party at The Little Gym
Babies and kids, what’s happening?
You and your siblings invited
So gon’ and get to clappin’
Parents, RSVP for a mom
RSVP for me
Turn around and drop off a small gift
Drop, drop it off for me
I’ll rent a bounce house in the backyard
Jump around with no shoes on
Papa Johns for dinner
Baba, please serve those cupcakes
You got it if you want it
Got, got it if you want it
Said you got it if you want it
Take my diaper bag if you want it now

Jump in the Sienna,
Kids, let’s put some miles on it
Anything you want
Just to put a smile on it
You deserve it, baby, you deserve it all
And I’m gonna give it to you (after you finish your homework, yes all of it)

Hand-made jewelry shining so bright
Strawberry lemonade on ice
Lucky for you, that’s what I like, that’s what I like
Lucky for you, that’s what I like, that’s what I like
Coloring by the fire at night
Clean sheets and tae kwon do uniforms all white
Lucky for you, that’s what I like, that’s what I like
Lucky for you, that’s what I like, that’s what I like

I’m talkin’ trips to parks so rico
Say the word and we go
We can be explorers, together on safari
I will never make a promise that I can’t keep
I promise that your smile ain’t gon’ never leave (except when you experience the natural consequences of your actions)

Shopping sprees in Target
Everything 24/7
Take a look in that bathroom mirror
Now tell me who’s washed her hands.
Is it you? Is it you? Is it me? Is it me?
Say it’s us, say it’s us, and I’ll agree, baby

Jump in the Sienna
Kids, let’s put some miles on it
Anything you want
Just to put a smile on you
You deserve it, baby, you deserve it all
And I’m gonna give it to you (after we finish making this casserole)

Hand-made jewelry shining so bright
Strawberry lemonade on ice
Lucky for you, that’s what I like, that’s what I like
Lucky for you, that’s what I like, that’s what I like
Coloring by the fire at night
Clean sheets and uniforms all white
Lucky for you, that’s what I like, that’s what I like
Lucky for you, that’s what I like, that’s what I like

If you say you had a bad day
Well here I am, baby, here I am, baby
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Tell me what’s on your mind
If you want a hug, buddy come and get it
I am here for you
Tell me, baby, tell me, tell me, baby
What you tryna do (preferably before you open this bottle of milk and pour the whole thing on the bed)

Hand-made jewelry shining so bright
Strawberry lemonade on ice
Lucky for you, that’s what We like, that’s what We like
Lucky for you, that’s what We like, that’s what We like
Coloring by the fire at night
Clean sheets and uniforms all white
Lucky for you, that’s what We like, that’s what We like
Lucky for you, that’s what We like, that’s what We like

Love to all you parents out there!  Lucky for you, this is our life 🙂

wishing you all the best,

Elena
