Clay Aiken Has a Gift with Son Parker
Clay Aiken is loving life as a hand-on father to three-month-old Parker Foster Aiken.
“I don’t have a problem with diapers … I don’t have a problem with any of that stuff,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “It was probably a week before [Parker’s mother Jaymes Foster] had to change a diaper at all, because it doesn’t really bother me.”
He’s also got a knack for calming down Parker when he fusses!
“It’s a rhythm. You have to get into it and try to figure out what he wants. I think I’m trying my best to be the stubborn one who doesn’t always let him cry and get what he wants, but he’s still young … he owns us right now.”
Ordinarily fans would see Clay on the road over Christmas, but this time around he’s opted to reprise his role as Sir Robin in Monty Python’s Spamalot. It was an easy decision, said Clay, who wanted to give his son some stability over the holidays.
“I wanted to be in a place where I could … spend the first Christmas with Parker and not be in a different city every night.”

American Idol graduate Clay Aiken and his friend Jaymes Foster are the proud parents of a new baby boy. Parker Foster Aiken was born in North Carolina at 8:08 am this morning, 8 August, 2008. If they’re at all superstitious I’ll bet they’re thrilled - 8 is such a lucky number!
Parker tipped the scales at 6 lb. 2 oz. and measured 19 inches.
“The little man is healthy, happy, and as loud as his daddy. Mama Jaymes is doing quite well also,” Clay wrote on his website.
“The Aiken family, the Foster family, and the Parker family are all thrilled.”
Congratulations to them all!
