Madonna and her GIGANTIC MUSCLES lug not-so-little David Banda around Manhattan.

Seriously isn’t this kid looking a little big to be carried?

  • Adopted children tend to prefer to be held and cared for a bit longer than what might be considered ‘appropriate’ for an older child.

    Cope.

  • It’s a yarmulke. And yesterday was Rosh Hashana… Kaballah is some sect of Judaism, isn’t it?

    So yeah, she dolled him up in a kippah that is much too big for his head….

  • Don’t you know, all children adopted by celebrities from third world countries must be carried at all times (think Brad, Angie and their adopted brood, especially “Z”.)

  • In her defense (and I don’t really like defending her), my almost 3-year-old loves to be carried. Also, I would probably carry my child if I was being hounded by the paparazzi every time I left the house.

  • Just wanted to clarify – yes, that is a kippah on his head. and yesterday (and today) were the Jewish New Year. Kaballah is NOT a sect of Judaism though. its not a religion, its actually sort of like an area of study within the Jewish religion. which is why celebrities like Madonna who say they follow Kaballah are complete IDIOTS. because you can’t follow it. technically, youre not even supposed to study it unless youre jewish and youve studied other aspects of the religion for at least a few years beforehand.

    sorry about the rant. but as a jew, i find it completely insulting that she thinks she can just put a kippah on her son’s head when she actually knows NOTHING about the religion.

  • I agree with jk. Its probably way easier and safer for her to carry her child as opposed to letting him walk when there is a crowd of photographers everywhere. The poor kid would be trampled.

  • i’m with jk. new york, tons of animalistic photographers, 3 year old child – carry him. 3 year olds go through really independent and really dependent swings. but seriously she’d probably be a crappy mom, if she didn’t carry him with all the lunatics chasing her around.

  • Eh that kid is like what 3?
    My son is 4 he still has moments when he wants me to carry him and ofc I do! They grow so fast let them be little as long as they want to.

  • Yep, I’ve got a 40 lb. 5 year-old and I still carry him at times. If we’ve been walking a long time I always hear the whine, “Mooommmyyyy, carrryyy meeee”. Such is life as a parent.

  • What a handsome little boy. And those eyes – they definitely have that ‘old soul’ look. He is big for his age, but he is just three, still a little guy.

    If you want your adopted child to grow up emotionally healthy, it is best to meet her/his dependency needs unconditionally. Probably a good rule of for thumb for bringing up all children. I don’t know if that is Madonna’s child raising policy, because as others have pointed out, it would be insanity not to carry your toddler when surrounded by wolfish paparazzi.

  • I have a 55 lbs 9 year-old, he still gets off the bus, jumps into my arms, and wants to be held and carried. The other 2 quit because I can catch up to 115 lbs (my oldest) but I can’t carry very long

  • @ lorelei

    I know what you’re saying girl…

    I have a 27 yr old retarded boy that jumps off the short bus while it’s still moving and picks my ass up and carries me into the house and eats all the fucking food.

    I don’t even know who he is….

  • My little guy just turned 5 this summer.
    He still wants to be picked up sometimes, or even rocked.
    And he still crawls into bed with me every once in a while, just because.
    Kids need comfort, and I’m going to enjoy it because in about 2 years he’ll be to cool to give his mom a kiss goodbye, or want to hear me say “love you snugglebug!” in front of his friends.

  • Give her a break. At least she’s being a good mother. I can only imagine what you guys would say if she had a Nanny carrying the kid, walking behind her, while Madonna chatted on her phone or something.

  • yo…foreals tho’, why lil’ dude gotta man’s face and junk. i mean dang, yesterday he had a cute little toddler face and today he literally looks like Marlon Wayans’ character in the movie ‘Little Man’. He looks like he’s a grown man in tha face. A little Rakim-ish if u ask me.

    Too bad Madge picked out a kid with Gary Coleman disease.
    Oh well, not all babies can be gorgeous Gerber cherubs like little Shiloh! Jolie-Pitt spawn rule! Whoa-hoo. Lol!

  • “Too bad Madge picked out a kid with Gary Coleman disease…”

    TOO FUN NY. but seriously, why is he bald?
