Todd: So, Mark, I see you have beautiful pictures of your child up here. I didn’t know you had a baby!
Mark: Yeah, baby Roy is about 1 year and 4 months old now.
Todd: Oh wow, that’s exciting!
Mark: Yeah I mean everyone said there would be lots of changes in your life, but it’s probably changed my wife’s life more than mine. But I still enjoy giving him his bath and helping 1 put him to bed and playing with him in the mornings and at the weekend.
Todd: Oh, that’s great. So, what’s it like being a father?
Mark: A lot of fun. As I said, I think my wife has a harder job looking after him during the day. The father can have the good jobs in the evening and the early morning and at the weekend.
Todd: So is your child speaking yet?
Mark: Not quite, but he understands English and Japanese. So if we tell him off in either language he runs away and starts crying. He’s just started walking.
Todd: Ok, oh that’s got to be tough.
Mark: It’s getting tougher. We just have to childproof the house more.
Todd: So how do you childproof the house?
Mark: Make sure that all breakables are above the level where he can reach, that’s the most important thing.
Todd: Now, when you have a child, like, first of all how much does the baby sleep?
Mark: Well he’s a good sleeper 2. He’s basically 3 always slept from about 9 in the morning, 9 in the evening until 6.30 or 7 in the morning. He’s waking up a little bit earlier now because it’s lighter 4 earlier.
Todd: Oh, wow, so what does your child like to do? Do you play special games with your …, with Roy?
Mark: He’s into dancing at the moment. He really likes the beat of the BBC 5 world music so he looks forward to the BBC news at the hour. He likes going to the sandpit and playing with the other children from the neighbourhood.
Todd: Well, you have a lovely child.
Mark: Thank you.
