Email to Matt Lauer

Every morning at around 7:30 am, my 7 year old son, Alex and I watch the Today Show as he gets ready for school.

Last week, he was more excited then ever! The build up to "Where in the world is Matt Lauer?" didn't let him down. Monday morning, after a weekend spent guessing where Matt could be, Alex could barely contain his excitement. Not only was Matt found in the US (as Alex guessed) but he was found in an enormous airplane factory, the likes of which Alex could only dream. An avid fan of all things mechanical, there could have been no better start to a week, than watching Matt do all the things Alex can only dream of.

As the week went on Alex looked forward each morning to discovering new places. On Thursday, he said, "Mommy, I think when I grow up, I want to be Matt Lauer. But not take his job he needs his job, I just want to do the "Where in the World" part for him, so he can stay home with his family and they won't miss him."

"You know Alex, someday when we go to New York City, we can go visit them at Rockfeller Center."

"Yeah. Lets do that. But they probably won't put us on TV and talk to us unless we have a really cool sign. And also, lets not go when its really cold. One day Meredith forgot her gloves and it was so cold I thought her fingers would freeze!"

Thank you for help making our mornings so much fun. Although disappointed that Matt was back in NY, Alex did enjoy getting caught up with current events.
