Singer Christina Aguilera reveals how she balances her music career with being a mom to her 2 year old son Max.

Aguilera says that even though she is excited for her release of her new album Bionic, it took some work to balance her music and being a mom. She says, “The toughest part is the schedule — balancing that between being a mommy and being able to still concentrate and focus on the work.”

She adds, “I’ll go and tuck my son in at night and sing him to sleep [with] a lullaby, and then I go in the studio and sing. It’s definitely a challenge and a balancing act, but one that I take on. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Christina and her husband Jordan Bratman want to ensure that their son grows up in an evironment where he is free to express himself. “I really like to let him be creative and give him the freedom to really have fun,” she says. “I think fun is a really big element of life itself, and being able to take in the small things. I’m instilling that in him early — being playful, and allowing him to get messy and dirty as a boy and just have fun — to really push for his individuality.”

Max is the only child for Christina and Jordan.
