00:00I can't believe back to school is right around the corner.
00:03So what are some of the traditions, the routines,
00:06that you and your daughter have when it comes to back to school?
00:10Well, we're changing schools this year.
00:11She graduated from fifth grade, so we're going to middle school.
00:14So I don't know what the traditions are going to be yet.
00:17You know, we're finding now there's bus stops
00:18and all these different things.
00:20We're trying to figure out as much as she is,
00:24what's going to be happening for this new school
00:25and all these new things.
00:27And with that, we're actually really excited for the school.
00:30I remember touring the school,
00:32and the lunchroom, and they have like a chef.
00:36Look at this whole thing. It's pretty amazing.
00:38Not how I grew up, not the schools I went to.
00:40They didn't have this good food.
00:43So I'm actually really excited because there is that.
00:46I don't have to worry.
00:47I usually have to prepare all the meals,
00:49schools, going to school,
00:50get her to school, pick her up, that kind of stuff.
00:53This is a little bit different now
00:55because they do have really great chefs
00:58and all these great food at the school,
00:59so I don't have to prepare all these meals anymore
01:02in the morning, which actually is going to be great.
01:04I used to love doing it, but now it's after so many years,
01:08it gets a little old.
01:10And also to try to keep it interesting.
01:12I don't know, everybody that has a kid knows this.
01:14They're making so many dang meals in the morning,
01:17and then a snack for them, and the lunch,
01:18it's like, oh my goodness.
01:19It's like, it's overkill.
01:22There's, what is it, 15, 20 meals
01:25in a week, and it's like, I'm not that creative.
01:28So I'm really happy this new school's gonna have,
01:31gonna take care of that for us.
01:32I know that you said your daughter,
01:33she's going to a new school, she's getting older.
01:36How has your parenting style changed as she gets older?
01:39And do you become emotional as, you know,
01:42these different stages of childhood kind of develop?
01:46I, I feel like now it's, I feel like I'm more of a,
01:51I don't know, it skipped and flipped for a minute
01:53because the accident really kind of propelled us
01:55into a very adult relationship.
01:59She's an 11-year-old, and so it's been wonderfully,
02:05and now I feel like I'm just her manager or a bouncer,
02:11or I don't know, I feel like my roles
02:13are a change of different hats now.
02:15I used to be like a caregiver, a nurturer,
02:17the entertainer, the babysitter,
02:19the entertainer, the chef, the provider, the chauffeur.
02:23It was always all these things.
02:24Now I feel like I just kind of have to be around
02:26and make sure she doesn't do bad stuff.
02:28What would you say is your favorite thing
02:29that you and your daughter like to do together?
02:31Oh, we, like this morning we make breakfast together,
02:36you know, or I help her teach her to make breakfast,
02:38so I don't always have to do it for her.
02:40I try to get her like, you know,
02:41on my health and health and wellness sort of stuff.
02:44And she'll eat like the super green gummies
02:46and then she'll try certain things, right?
02:48But I always make myself protein shakes, right?
02:50I'm always doing that.
02:52That's always how I,
02:52because I have to do a lot of protein, more than most.
02:55And yeah, she'll do her pancakes or her crepes.
02:59Crepes is now a new thing because we're here in Europe.
03:02And so she's really digging on making some crepes.
03:04So we like to do like sort of like,
03:08it's on the home a lot anyway,
03:09so we do like homebody stuff.
03:11I love that.
03:12She's always dancing around like a little ballerina,
03:14you know, while we do whatever we can.
