Luca has him so tightly wrapped around her little pinky, that she actually gets him to play dress up with her ALL the time!
Gregarious and friendly with a loud and boisterous laugh...this work-from-home mom, and consulting architect is the most POSITIVE woman on the planet encouraging Luca to master life’s milestones. Not only is she loving, she always sees the best in everything and everyone.
