"  Recording artist Seal, 45, is not one to be ho-hum about, well, anything. He&amp;#039;s as enthusiastic about tucking into his lunch as he is about discussing his newest album, Soul, a collection of soul classics, including &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a Man&amp;#039;s World&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;People Get Ready.&amp;quot; A simple &amp;quot;How are you?&amp;quot; is greeted with, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m fan-tastic! Isn&amp;#039;t that better than, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m OK. I&amp;#039;m fine&amp;#039;?&amp;quot; This, coming from the guy whose hit single last year was titled &amp;quot;Amazing,&amp;quot; sums up his life rather well: raising three kids \u2014 Leni, 4, Henry, 3, and Johan, 2 \u2014 with wife Heidi Klum, the supermodel/host/executive producer of Project Runway. &amp;quot;When I met my wife, my whole life changed on a dime, really quickly and for the better,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Four years later we have three kids, and I think that&amp;#039;s amazing \u2014 I almost can&amp;#039;t remember what it was like before they were here.&amp;quot;  Q: How do you and your wife find time to be together? We&amp;#039;re careful not to fill up the calendar with too many things that would distract us from each other. I&amp;#039;m extremely lucky in that my wife is the chief scheduler. Q: What is your perfect date night? I really love taking her to dinner and then to the movies. And then, you know, ahem, some alone time when we get home. If we can&amp;#039;t see a good movie, we&amp;#039;ll watch a movie in bed. Q: We&amp;#039;ve caught you eating lunch \u2014 what&amp;#039;s on the menu? My wife just made me a wonderful salad, and I am eating yesterday&amp;#039;s pasta Bolognese, which, I have to tell you, was exceptional. And corn on the cob, also from last night. Q: So Heidi&amp;#039;s the cook and scheduler. What are your talents around the house? I do change the odd lightbulb, and I fix the Internet when it goes down, because it&amp;#039;s something I am really good at. Packing is my pet hate. However, anything directly involved with the children \u2014 taking them to school, preparing meals for them \u2014 then both Heidi and I are very actively involved. I love singing to them before bed. I sing &amp;quot;Hushabye Mountain&amp;quot; from the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Q: What&amp;#039;s your favorite part of the day? Taking my daughter to school. Lately it&amp;#039;s been even better because our son Henry now goes to the same school. It&amp;#039;s a selfish response, because I get so much out of it, maybe because it conjures up memories from when I was going to school. I remember the first time Heidi and I dropped Leni off \u2014 she couldn&amp;#039;t wait to see the back of us. But I was a basket case for about three weeks. I still get choked up. If she doesn&amp;#039;t give me a hug and a kiss as she gets out of the car, I&amp;#039;m a mess.  Q: How do you handle it when your kids push your buttons? Those moments are little treasures disguised in the form of challenges. They are another opportunity for you to grow. Even if your child is being completely unreasonable, outrageous, and terribly annoying \u2014 and trust me, Henry is that guy. It&amp;#039;s ironic: I don&amp;#039;t want to admit it, but I see myself in him when I was his age. That helps me understand him better. And then, I catch Leni saying things to Henry \u2014 things that I would say \u2014 when she is being the grown-up and trying to discipline: She says, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going to count to five,&amp;quot; and you go, &amp;quot;Is that what I sound like?&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
