Cruz has swag

Well here's a post I never thought I'd be writing - Cruz has gained some notoriety this week all because of a picture I submitted to a blog. A couple of weeks ago my cousin Jude emailed me, telling me to check out this adorable blog, Children With Swag and suggested I submit a picture of Cruz. I thought it was a fun idea so I decided to take some photos of him. I dressed him in this super cute, preppy little outfit that I bought at H&M (I am obsessed with their kid's clothes) for him to wear on Easter. I finished the look with a hat that he got from my friend Violeta on his last birthday. He looked so handsome I was getting giddy just taking his picture!

I submitted the photo to Children With Swag and to my delight, they posted it late that same evening. Even though it's a simple blog with nothing but photos, I felt every bit the proud mama seeing his picture posted. The photo has been re-blogged multiple times and I'm still a little surprised that so many people enjoy it. The following morning I received two emails - one was from the editor of the blog, asking permission to include Cruz's picture in a collection of photos that she's planning to publish on Huffington Post! The second email was from an editor at cbsnews.com, also asking for permission to use Cruz's picture. Today he sent me the link to the feature on cbsnews.com about kids with style.

How cool is that? Wait till Cruz grows up and I can show him what a trendsetter he was at 3 years old!
