Pat on the Head and Kiss on the Cheek
Yes, it's true. I have an Olympic size crush on Mr. Michael Phelps. Not in a slimy, "how you doing" kinda way. But more because I think he's grounded, humble, gracious and charming. And I (ahem) barely noticed his abs. But what I think is really endearing about Michael Phelps is how he treats his mom. After the ceremony for winning his 8th gold medal, he created a path in a sea of photographers, climbed through the bleachers to get to his mom for a pat on the head and a kiss on the cheek. How proud she must be. It's also been fun watching Michael Phelps compete accompanied by the commentary from my four year old. A sample of one of our conversations.... Jake: Why is his mom there? Me: Because she wants to support him. Jake: Who dropped him off? Me: I'm not quite sure. Jake: How did he get there? Me: Someone probably drove him. Jake: (very sheepishly) Maybe we swam there.... He's also developing a sense of humor. So I'll continue to admire Michael Phelps from afar and look forward to the day when Jake wins his medal, award or certificate and clears a path to get to me for a pat on the head and kiss on the cheek.

Did you hear that he has ADD? I thought that was really interesting. His mom was saying that's one reason he needs such a strict schedule. If he doesn't have that, he'd just be overwhelmed and do none of it. I'm curious if he's still taking medication for it. They said he was diagnosed as a boy. I thought that was really inspirational. I adore his relationship with his family. His mom is amazing.

His mom is amazing. I love how she gets teary-eyed after every race. It doesn't seem to matter how many she sat through that day; she is just so excited for her son.And your son is very sweet.
