I agree, Brad was born to be a dad. The interview w/ Oprah really showed how much he loves Angie and their family. The stories, his wonderment is just exactly how a loving parent would react to a question. Being a dad has brought out the best in Brad. What a great little(?) family the Jolie-Pitts are.

Daisy- ITA! In fact, that’s basically what I was trying to say in my comment. I think that Angie “held back” about talking about Shiloh at first because she didn’t want to overshadow Maddox and Zahara.

I’m sure she knew full well that any comments she made about Shi could easily get percieved the way that Nicole’s have been.

All of that said, this interview should clear up any confusion as to why they don’t always take all the kids on every family outing!

Shiloh sounds like she is beginning to come into her own, sounds so adorable.

The way I see the whole arguemnet about them not focusing as much on Shiloh makes me think of Nicole Kidman. At the minute Nicole gets persecuted for talking too much about Sunday and not her adopted kids, vice versa for the Jolie-Pitts. Can’t win I suppose.

I love that part of Angelina’s book as well, stephanie. It was a wonderful read and I hope she publishes more of her journals.

It’s nice to hear Brad talk about his family. The little stories that he and Angelina tell are adorable, not obnoxious at all because I’m sure many of us can relate!

I think it’s really sweet that Shiloh loves Peter Pan! In her book (Notes From My Travels) she mentioned that just before her first trip to Africa, her brother James gave her this message:

My Mom looked at me like I was her little girl. She smiled at me through her teary eyes. She is worried. As she hugged me goodbye, she gave me a specific message from my brother Jamie. “Tell Angie I love her, and to remember that if she is ever scared, sad, or angry – look up at the night sky, find the second star on the right and follow it straight on till morning.” That’s from Peter Pan, one of our favorite stories.

Brad seems like such an amazing and intuitive dad. I particularly love his comments because they convey that sense of wonderment that you have as a parent – I am constantly looking at my toddler and going, it is just amazing that he’s impersonating this person or making up funny faces to amuse me or – you know, whatever the latest antic is! Brad seems so relaxed and positive, I think he must be an amazing dad. I laughed at the description of getting the kids out of the house though – everyone I know who has more than 2 kids would totally empathise with that!!

My friend’s 3 yr old is convinced he’s Spiderman and won’t respond to any other name – so cute.

natasha- I get the feeling that the reason why Angie seemed to not want to focus on Shiloh at first was because she didn’t want to make her sound more important than the adopted kids (I HATE using that term, but I couldn’t see any way around it this time.).

Obviously she knew the media was going to be more interested in her bio baby than her adopted kids, and she probably didn’t want to make Shiloh seem more special than them since the media already had her on a pedestal.

Perhaps someone else can explain it better.

My comment was directed to the people who would say things like, “How come Angelina talks about Mad, Pax, and Zahara and never talks about Shiloh…. blah blah blah.” I still think Shiloh is coming into the stage of having a fully developed personality and we can see that now that Brad mentioned the Peter Pan thing. No hard feelings.

I just love Brad as a father!!! Those kids are so lucky to have them as parents. Shiloh is a hoot! lol!
