00:00My time with Bear's been really, really great.

00:01Honestly, more than anything, I want to say thank you to him and his mum

00:04for giving me a little bit of freedom to go and get well in that moment,

00:07because I had to.

00:08There's no point trying to be a dad when you've got nothing to teach.

00:10And I don't think up until this point, I really had much to say to him

00:15other than just caring for him deeply and loving him very deeply,

00:17which are obviously the most important things.

00:18But I just kind of feel like I've got more of a grip on life now

00:21and everything that was kind of getting away from me,

00:22I kind of have got more of a handle on, let's say.

00:26And he's awesome.

00:27I mean, he's growing up far too quickly.

00:29He actually texted me the other day off his iPad saying,

00:32hello, dad, right.

00:34What?

00:35You're six.

00:36Like, what are you doing?

00:37I was like, oh.

00:37I tried to make it jokey, because I thought, what am I in trouble for now?

00:40And then I put hello with no H.

00:42And the simple response I got back was, no, no, it's not hello.

00:47It's hello with a H.

00:48So he's learning really quickly.

00:49He's far more smart than I think I'll ever be.

00:52Yeah, he's a wonder.

00:54But he's definitely learning to talk at this moment in time.

00:57And it's a lot of fun to be around.
