00:00Little Bird was Little Bird, man.

00:01Big one for our kids.

00:03Play it every night.

00:04Please just keep me in your heart

00:07when you're flying to somebody else's arms.

00:10Little Bird.

00:12Little ones are coming to our shows with their parents.

00:15And it's becoming kind of an anthem for little ones

00:17that are experiencing the Jonas Brothers concert

00:19for the first time.

00:20That's really special.

00:21I've learned so much about being a dad from my little girls.

00:25There was somebody years ago that was telling me this reason

00:29behind why little ones are the best at training dogs.

00:34Because they have no calendar.

00:36They have no schedule.

00:37They're not like, can you hurry up?

00:38Can you just go?

00:39And it's so true to think about my little ones.

00:43They have nowhere to be.

00:44Or they are not aware that they need to be somewhere next.

00:47And it's beautiful.

00:49So really just being present with them

00:50and being able to just act like phones and time doesn't exist.

00:55And that is most important.

00:57I second that, the time and the presence, you know,

01:01putting the phone down and being just in the moment with them.

01:03Girls are getting older at this point and middle school

01:06and it's like new challenges and things I didn't expect.

01:09I think I've learned a lot about how math is now taught.

01:13And new math is not for the weak of art.

01:17I've been spending a lot of time going through homework on FaceTime

01:19before the concerts, which is great.

01:21I have learned a lot about princesses.

01:25I have learned so much from her.

01:28I think it's incredible when you get to the why phase of parenting,

01:33which we're kind of in now, where everything's why.

01:35And you have to actually look at things as an adult and go,

01:40yeah, why?

01:41Why is it like that?

01:42Why do we just sort of do it like this?

01:44Or why is this thing?

01:45Or you have to find a way to explain something.

01:48And it's really been a kind of fascinating thing to me

01:52because there are questions I've had to answer that I'm like,

01:56I've put no thought into this beforehand and no time to prep.

02:01And this is going to shape the way in which she views the world

02:04or this thing.

02:06And it's an exhilarating opportunity,

02:09but as I'm sure every parent feels, a responsibility.
