FB 2/23
had a good shoot with Oliver this am.... he got to do a cake smash on set! Now I'm hoping not to crash while I'm at work since I'm running on 2hrs sleep!
Really?.. Note: it's a long post
So Oliver's modeling had slowed down quite a bit.... pretty much to a stop except for the products being released. He was invited to December's casting where he was a little grouchy... And then for the next one, February, I kind of invited oursleves and then Oliver got sick in the car on the way so we went back home. I had mentally prepared myself that our journey in the bright lights (and bright starts) was over.... and I was fine with it.
Until Monday, I heard my phone ringing but didnt rush to it. I was making dinner and hanging with my boys and figured the world could wait. When I checked my missed call, I saw it was his agent (she doesnt have her own agengcy, she just books babies and keeps them happy on set, I pay her a comission so to me, she's an agent).... I thought this was strange cause we have only talked on the phone once since last May and that was when I called to introduce myself after she met Oliver and Gigi. I figured for sure she butt dialed me or meant to call a different Kelly...
Then I heard the voicemail alert.. Listened to the message and immediately made arrangements for me to miss work Wednesday morning... Oliver was going back to work!! This particular "gig".... Daniel thinks it's hialrious when I pretend I'm in the biz and use words like gig..... was for a video shoot. I didnt get many details so I was extremely excited about this morning.
We went to the corporate headquarters for the brand that Oliver mostly models for. I had never been there before, so I knew it would be an early start to try to find my way and beat traffic. Unfortunately, my overachiever ways got the best of me yesterday and left me all riled up and full of energy until 5 - freaking - a.m. this morning. I planned to take an hour cat nap and be up and at 'em.... well at 7am I jumped out of bed and rushed around and out the door, Oliver still in his pajamas. Got on the road and made it to Alpharetta with 5 mins to spare!
There was one other boy at the shoot today.. George who is 11 months old and a first timer.. The video shoot was neat. There is a nationwide store called "Buy, Buy, Baby".. pretty similar to BabiesR'us.... they are going to feature a demo video in the aisle about a highchair.. the highchair is pretty awesome!! it swivels so that mom's (and dad's) can do it one handed.. So the video was demo-ing how that is done. Oliver is also featured on the box for this highchair with "his mommy", Paige, who I love.. she was the mommy again today.
Oliver did great, although I didn't really get to see much live since every time he saw me he cried... I did however video and take pictures by sticking my hand around the corner where I was hiding. They even did a cake smash which I thought Oliver had won the lottery in baby world for landing that. I told the photographers and project managers all about how awesome he did with his cake at his birthday that I might have built him up a little too much.... He of course made me look like a liar and just dabbled in a little bit of frosting.. thanks son!
So we wrapped up and headed home. I figured this might be the last of the modeling for awhile since he isn't 100% percent good with the sitting still and looking here aspect of modeling... once he was mobile and now that he has mastered walking, I haven't seen much besides a blur of him whizzing past me lately. So we had fun today.. earned some more cash for his bank account and it was a couple of more QT hours I got with him... and a ton of laughs!
My mom and I were just on the phone.. I am at work and she is telling me about the bills and junk mail I received today and tells me about some pictures that came in the mail from an agency.. I COMPLETELY forgot that a few weeks ago, I sent some pictures to a local and highly recognized agency... the website has a little disclaimer that says they receive dozens of entries day so they will review photos and send them back, with or without an invite to meet a rep... so i told my mom to open it, certain that it said no... Oliver is the cutest thing to me but all babies are cute...
Well we got an invite to meet a rep!! you've got to be kidding me!! This doesn't mean that we have been chosen to be represented but still... this letter means that these professionals who have personally founded tons of famous or recognizable babies, toddlers, kids, teens and adults... think my little Ollie - Kabollie has a look that is highly marketable!!
I wonder how the mom of Justin Bieber or the E-trade baby must feel?.. cause I am on cloud 11 right now. I could go meet this rep and she/he can tell me that they are no longer interested and I would still be this excited!! This wasn't part of my wildest dreams that I would be doing with my 15 month old son.. crazy... just crazy...
I also wonder what Daniel thinks of all this... Oliver looks EXACTLY like Daniel... I hope this doesn't feed into any mid life crisis Daniel might stumble upon years from now and Daniel realize he has a highly marketable look... haha. I'm pretty confident he wont... He doesn't seem fazed by any of this.. His biggest concern with Oliver is trying to get Oliver's beloved golf club out of his hand and insert a bat or a football... oh and he mentioned that Oliver needs the March issue of the Sports Illustrated (not the swim suit one) cause some Braves players are on it.
Note to future Oliver - you better treasure that magazine or daddy will be angry!
