Shawn Johnson’s Kids Drew & Jett Have the Cutest Fight — & The Best Compromise
Shawn Johnson welcomed a newborn last month — sweet little Barrett “Bear” East — and so the last thing she needs right now is for her older kids to be fighting.
But they are. And we’ve seen it play out more than once. Over the same thing each time. *Sigh*
But — plot twist — it’s actually so. freakin. cute!
Drew, 4 and Jett, 2 can’t stop fighting over who gets to give their mom her iced coffee every morning. Are you kidding me?! It’s the sweetest thing we’ve ever seen. Johnson shared a video of it on her Instagram Story this morning (see it before it disappears!), and we might never get over it.
“Sound on hahahaha,” the Olympic gold medalist wrote on the video. And we almost turned it off when we heard the bickering. But boy are we glad we didn’t.
Drew, dressed in her pajamas, is yelling, “I want to do it,” as she puts a kitchen stool away. “No, I want to do it,” Jett says through his pacifier, doing the same task while dressed in a shirt and diaper. They go back and forth like this for some time until their dad, Andrew East, comes into frame holding an iced coffee.
He encourages them each to put one hand on the glass that he’s also holding (probably for the best!), and the three of them inch their way toward Johnson. East, a retired NFL player, starts whistling the Olympics theme song.
“Teamwork makes the…” he prompts. “Dream work!” his kids say in unison. They say it twice before handing their mama her iced coffee, and the look of pride on their faces is everything.
The moment must have been extra heartwarming for Johnson who was (understandably) in her Fourth Trimester Feels yesterday.
She shared a selfie on her Story with Bear resting on her shoulder and said the “most amazing thing” about this “special small window of time” is that she gets to hold, cuddle, nurse, and be with her newborn 24/7.
“It’s a time like no other that you’ll never get back,” she said.
She then shared the hardest part: Missing her big kids. “Daddy is doing the best job in the world showering them with attention and adventures but this mama misses her big babies.”
Her big babies who want nothing more than to be the one who brings a smile to her face with her iced coffee! We’re not crying, you’re crying!
