"American Pie" actor Jason Biggs has a funny surprise for fans: his son Sid learned to walk the unconventional way! Unlike other one-year old kids, Sid did not attempt to reach a toy or a snack, or anything similar to that, as he tried to walk. Instead, Sid handed the toilet paper over to mom, Jenny Mollen, to take his first steps, as reported in People.
Biggs shared to People magazine how his author-actress wife guided their son in taking his first baby steps uniquely, well, in a sort of, funny way.
"Jenny was in the bathroom and Sid had the toilet paper," said Biggs. "She was like, 'Come here, I need that,' so he took two steps towards her. It was very funny. Very appropriate."
Biggs recently moved to New York from Los Angeles after being included in the cast of Broadway's "The Heidi Chronicles." New York's freezing temperature did have an effect in Sid's birthday party in February.
Biggs shared that his son did not fail to enjoy his special day despite the cold, saying, "The day of his birthday was one of the coldest days of the year. We took him out to brunch and it was brutal! So we went back to the apartment and we had ball pits and balloons and Elmo. It was a ball party."
Biggs added that the nearing toddler stage has kept Sid busy these days. Among his favorite toys? Toy cars and a duck with flappy wings and among others.
Aside from the usual toys for toddlers, Film-news.co.uk wrote that Biggs jokingly mentioned that his loved playing with stuff that "he pulled from recycling." He said it could be anything, from a Perrier water bottle to used coffee cups for playtime.
And of course, since her mom is an author, Sid is also fan of books. Books are parts of Sid's pre-bedtime activities every night, according to dad. Biggs said, "Reading was part of his bedtime routine from the very beginning, I'm excited to get Sid involved and have some Milk + Bookies parties too."
Biggs has long been known as a supporter of the philanthropic organization, Milk + Bookies. The organization's mission is to provide books to needy kids.
The actor shared his plans to include Sid to Milk + Bookies activities in the near future. He said, "I'm excited to get Sid involved and have some Milk + Bookies parties too. He loves The Very Hungry Caterpillar. And, the screenplay for American Pie. That's pretty much all he reads."
