I’m up at 6:30 or 7 a.m. I try to make him breakfast. It’s usually oatmeal or something that his mom already blended. We do flashcards, you know, just basic letters and numbers. We’re working on a few words. Depending on what he’s doing, I may pop a headphone in my ear and listen to a set from the night before that I’m trying to work on that night for a show, trying to see if I can tighten it up a bit. There’s a lot of multitasking going on.”
