Breaking news: toddlers are a lot of work. OK, OK, that may not be exactly shocking to seasoned parents out there. But in case you needed a reminder, Heather Rae El Moussa’s compilation video sums it all up. The Selling Sunset star described her son Tristan a “diaper-wearing daredevil,” and proves why moms can’t ever rest. (Trigger warning: your nerves will be frazzled after watching this!)
“When you have a boy and everyday he acts like he’s auditioning for Jackass,” Heather Rae wrote over a video of her 17-month-old son, who she shares with husband Tarek El Moussa. The clip begins with Tristan dressed in a t-shirt and a diaper, running around the living room and jumping in the dog bed. He spins around like a little tornado in another part of the video, tries to do a front flip, and climbs up a stack of Amazon boxes piled up by the door. At one point, Heather Rae watches Tristan with her hands clasped to her chest, clearly trying to control her anxiety. I feel you, mama!
“Move over, Johnny Knoxville, there’s a new diaper-wearing daredevil in town! ???????? #BabyJackass” she captioned the video.
People were quick to share their support for Heather Rae. “Oh I have one of those haha,” one person wrote. “He’s now 6 and currently piling blankets and stuffies on the stairs to slide down. This is after giving himself a concussion two days ago. Sending prayers now ❤️????” Oh boy!
“My son too!!! It’s driving me CRAZY!!!” someone else wrote. Another wrote, “What a sweetheart ❤️❤️and by the way this goes on for years????.”
The Flipping El Moussas star, who is also stepmom to Tarek’s kids Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 9, who he shares with ex Christina Hall, recently shared a heartwarming post about Tristan’s first year-and-a-half of life.
“GUESS WHAT!!!!!! ????????????” she cheekily captioned the video that started with an ultrasound photo. But this was no pregnancy announcement — it was just a reflection on Tristan’s life.
“Tristan is almost a year and a half. Our sweet boy … Time FLIES!! ????????” she went on. “From belly to one year. Over a year of love, laughter, and endless memories with our precious little Tristan Bear (he’s 17 months now).”
In an interview with E! News in May, Heather Rae gushed about her little boy. “He is literally like the most incredible baby,” she said.”He has such a great soul. He is so fun, happy and he just makes me love life.”
And her already has a few obsessions. “He’s obsessed with dogs, he’s obsessed with fruit,” she said. “He loves berries. He’s obsessed with life. Every day he wakes up so happy.” (And ready for trouble, we bet!)
