Dwayne Johnson’s little kid is keeping him up at night.
The 50-year-old star of Moana posted a video of his 4-year-old daughter Tiana Gia on Instagram on Thursday, interrupting his sleep with a sweet rendition of “Itsy Bitsy Spider”
Tiana taps her father’s face and sings him a nice tune in the video. Johnson says to her, “Thank you so much, sweetheart.” The itsy bitsy spider’s retirement was then alluded to in jest by him.
“A lot of you are aware of my suffering ️ I made an attempt to grab a brief nap, but my sweetest little whirlwind wouldn’t stop asking, “Daddy, how are you sleeping?” every two minutes.” Johnson penned the caption. “I know what you need, she continues, after I tell her seven times that my dad is sleeping soundly and I appreciate you checking on me. She places the dog’s toy next to me and begins to sing to me with Itsy Bitsy Spider, who seems to enjoy stomping all over her father’s face .”
“Then hits me with the walk-off mic drop of ‘goodnight daddy, I love you’ ,” he stated. “We may appear irritated, but deep down, we dads just want this kind of thing to stop .” I’ll sleep next year, screw it #gluttonforpunishment #bringiton ️. Johnson posted an Instagram picture to commemorate Tiana’s fourth birthday back in April.
“Big Easter/Tia’s birthday weekend!!!️ ,” he tweeted, attaching a collage of pictures of Tiana’s birthday celebrations.
“She runs around NON-STOP like the little tornado she is and when it comes to eating her birthday cake, it all comes to a hard stop – meaning I have to stop doing what I’m doing when she says… ‘Daddy feed me’ ,” the pleased father continued.
Johnson penned, “Happy 4th Birthday & Happy Easter, my love!” as the post’s caption. Being your father brings me the most delight.”
Apart from Tiana, Johnson is also the father of two daughters: Simone, 20, whom he has with his former wife Dany Garcia, and Jasmine, 6, who he shares with wife Lauren Hashian.
Johnson frequently posts videos of himself spending time with his girls at home on social media. In honor of International Women’s Day last March, the wrestler-turned-actor shared a cute old video of himself and Tiana teaching one other a variety of self-affirmations.
“Can you say I’m a pretty girl?” Johnson asked Tiana, cradling her against his chest. It made her delightfully mutter in response, “I’m a pretty girl.”
“That’s right, and even more importantly than that can you say ‘I’m an awesome girl?'” Then Johnson questioned, to which Tiana grinned and said, “Awesome girl.” The three-time parent also taught his child how to describe herself as a “very smart girl.”
