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.
