By the time Lyla was a wee 2 week old baby, she was completely smitten with her daddy.
What we've failed to tell you all along is that she's also been in love with another man. This man.
Looks good in jeans.
Millionaire.
Deep voice.
Down to earth (because I know him well and all...).
Looks great in jeans.
A positive, God-fearing, married man, father of three, soon to be moving to Hereford...oh wait, nevermind.
Yes, my Lyla has fallen for a good one. And her daddy isn't half bad either :-)
Since Lyla was a baby, the only music that calms her in the car is Josh. (We're on a first-name basis by now. Turner is an unnecessary bit of information.) Until two weeks ago, Josh did not leave the CD player in my car. Ever.
Track 1 - Everything Is Fine
Track 2 - Firecracker
Track 3 - Another Try
Track 4 - So Not My Baby
Track 5 - Trailerhood
Track 6 - One Woman Man
Track 7 - Highway
Track 8 - The Longer The Waiting
Track 9 -
Track 10 -
Track 11 - The Way He Was Raised
Track 12 - South Carolina Low Country
It took me about 13 seconds to name the above tracks. I forgot 9 and 10; 9 is a good song, but I cannot remember what it is...anyway...we skip 5 and 7. Bad songs. Not a fan. Months ago, once she was asleep, we'd let the cd keep playing. Now, sleeping Lyla = bye Josh. Now, don't get me wrong, I love me some Josh. How could I not? But Lyla's love of Josh is much deeper than mine and I'm pretty sure she'd tolerate him 24 hours at a time. And while a dose of Josh is good, an overdose isn't better.
Anyway, back to two weeks ago...we began car shopping on the Sunday before Christmas. We shopped for four days, on which days our conversations went something like this:
Day 1: Me - "We cannot forget Josh in this car." Matt - "I know."
Day 2: Matt - "We cannot forget Josh in this car." Me - "I know."
Day 3: Us - "We cannot forget Josh in this car."
Day 4: Us - "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WE CANNOT FORGET JOSH."
First thing I said after we buckled into the new car: "Did you remember Josh?!" Sorry new car smell, you take the backseat to Josh.
For your listening pleasure, click below to hear Lyla's favorite song with you. Track 1 - Everything Is Fine. After all, everything really is fine. Especially because Josh tells me it is. In his deep voice. And jeans.

Meet Josh. Josh Turner that is. If you don't know who he is, let me describe a few of his qualitities.
