00:00Was it more challenging going from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 2?
00:031 to 2.
00:04Definitely more challenging because of having the toddler running around.
00:07But Piper's actually pretty simple in the sense that when she cries, it's either a diaper
00:13needs to change or she has gas or she needs to eat or she's tired.
00:17My favorite thing though is last time I was there, Piper's just laying on the rug and
00:21she flipped over.
00:22And then she flipped back again and I'm like, oh, the flipping has happened.
00:25It's started.
00:26It's happening.
00:27So if we have to put a pillow or something on the one side of her, if we don't, she'll
00:33roll across the room now.
00:34Wow.
00:35She's moving quick.
00:36On that one side.
00:37But the funny thing is, Parker was the same.
00:39When the kids were a little younger, the eyebrows, her eyebrows go red when she's tired or angry.
00:46Not even from crying, just when she's about to lose her stuff.
00:50And that's where we're like, oh, let's get a feed in, time to go to bed.
00:53I love that so much.
00:54Is it true?
00:55I think I read that she's now can differentiate the two of you a little bit, right?
01:00We think because at first we think she just thought this was like me.
01:04Sure.
01:05Why did that change?
01:06She would have this like look where she's like, yeah, like looking at him like she's
01:11trying to figure out where the beard went.
01:12But maybe now she thinks it's the mirror.
01:14Like Parker has known for a long time that this is uncle Jonathan and the moment he sees
01:19him, he runs over laughing and giggling.
01:20Jonathan doesn't have to do any laughs and giggles.
01:22I just love it.
01:23So every time I'm sitting at breakfast with them, Parker sits across the table every minute
01:27or two, he'll just randomly say through the whole breakfast, hi uncle Jonathan, dude's
01:33my man.
01:34So I got to work that relationship with my niece.
01:39The hard thing though is right now he's the magician, he's really good at magic, right?
01:44But to Parker, I'm an amazing magician right now.
01:46I think I'm awesome, but I can't do the same way.
01:49I can't impress your kids the same way.
01:50They'll call me out as a fake.
01:53I just took our son to the magic castle with a friend yesterday and he'd never been there
01:58and they were like losing their minds and then I'm doing little things for them as we
02:02go from theater to theater and whatnot.
02:05So I'm like, you got to find ways to entertain them.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Keep it, keep it going.
02:09How has Parker adjusted to his little sister?
02:12That's always hard.
02:13It was a journey.
02:14Yeah.
02:15It's, um, at first he was like, who's stealing my spotlight?
02:18And then it was almost like he was a little afraid of her.
02:21Like he thought she was going to jump out and bite him or something.
02:23And then he started to get calm with her.
02:25Then he started doing this thing where he was like, uh, Parker, uh, want to touch Piper.
02:29Parker want to touch Piper.
02:30And so we're like, okay, bring him close.
02:31And he's like, oh, and he just goes whack in her face and we're like, don't hit your
02:34sister.
02:35And the look on her sweet little face when she was a baby, it was just like, I'm fine,
02:38she loves me.
02:39I didn't do anything.
02:40But now he is so good.
02:43He's so good with her now.
02:44Like he'll just randomly, he's playing and they just stop.
02:46He'll run over to her and give her a hug and a kiss and say, I love you Piper.
02:48And they go back to what he does.
02:49It's really sweet.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Your heart melts.
02:52What's your favorite part about being a dad at this moment?
02:55For me, I'm just, I want to make sure that they have these amazing memories.
02:58So whether it's a birthday or Halloween or whatever, you know, do we go a little overboard
03:04on the parties?
03:05You should.
03:06I don't think so.
03:07I wouldn't go overboard.
03:08It's perfect.
03:09Zoe and I love hosting.
03:10So we, um, yeah, we like, we put on these epic, we had a Taylor Swift party for one
03:15and we had a, you know, I remember last year there was a Christmas in July.
03:19Okay.
03:20Party.
03:21I'm like, so whatever it happens to be, we just, we love the entertainings.
03:23And I get to save all the money and putting it on because I'll just go to his.
03:26Are you big Swifties in the house?
03:29Oh yeah.
03:30Yeah.
03:31Okay.
03:32Always singing and dancing.
03:33Actually, what I really love too is our son loves, um, uh, soundtracks and so he's just
03:40a huge, um, uh, John Williams absolutely loves, uh, you know, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones,
03:48Jaws, all these different soundtracks.
03:50So, um, he'll literally just put on like little concerts and he's just like, he's a dancer
03:55going like this.
03:56And I.
