Andrew was on Chicago Tonight last night. It's a local PBS news show that brings on local folk to talk current affairs and other stuff. Andrew & his fellow A-list Chicago bloggers (Chicagoist & CTA Tattler) went on to talk, well, blogs. I never know what time we would get home, so I didn't tell Ella that her 2nd favorite guy was going to be on TV until we got home. After dinner & a bath, we curled up on the couch and waited. And waited. FINALLY! Ella was acting like a 3yo until Andrew came on.

She just kept saying "He's on TV!" "There's Andrew!" And when the camera would show someone else, she'd say, "THAT'S not Andrew!" as if to tell the camera to go back to Mr. Huff. It was quite cute.

After the segment ended, she wanted to know where he was. I said, it was over. Then she wanted to know if he was home (so she can call him). I tried to explain that he was still there, but on his way home. Gotta love the 3yo mind.

And yes, she was on the phone to call him soon after to tell him that she saw him on TV. I think that's all her giggly self could say.

She is a major chatterbox and rarely stops talking or singing. But oh, Andrew walks thru the door and BAM! She stops cold. She does that to Cinnamon too, but sometimes will shake it off quickly. Not with Andrew. She's smitten and always has been.

The four of us laugh and wonder what's it's going to be life when she's a teenager. If she'll still swoon over him. Of course, I wonder how he'll feel the first time she has a real crush on someone else. It always makes me think of when Xander found out Dawn had a crush on Spike. hehe...

Oh...and Andrew did great. He was well spoken, relaxed, but poised. He projected a good image of us bloggers (even if he tried to project GB as a webzine and not a blog). We're not all crazy people in our basements! Althou, gotta say, the lighting on that show does not flatter. I've had another friend on that show and never noticed it. So he's been on NPR, PBS, and in Chicago magazine. Now for the Chicago version of "The Surreal Life". *wink*
