For Jared, however, the TV shows and movies aren’t something to feel guilty about: instead, they’re memories made.
“Obviously, we’ll teach him about balance and not watching too much screen and so on and so forth,” the 35-year-old explained. “But also, I want to watch movies with my kid. I know he’s 2 but I love watching Disney movies with him. I’m not going to apologize about that. I love sharing those experiences.”
And as he pointed out, there is one movie in particular the whole family enjoys watching together.
“He loves Aladdin. I love watching his reactions,” Jared added, prompting Ashley to concede, “I do love watching Aladdin.”
In fact, that particular movie-themed ride was the highlight of the family’s recent trip.
“I have passed down my passion for Aladdin onto Dawson,” Ashley captioned a Jan. 22 Instagram post featuring a clip of the two on the Disneyland ride. “He wasn’t loving all the rides at Disney World, BUT when he saw the magic carpet ride in the Magic Kingdom, he lit up!! This moment was by far my favorite of the trip!”
