Neil Patrick Harris Dishes on His Twins

Posted on February 2, 2012 - 11:06am by loretta

Neil Patrick Harris and his longtime partner David Burtka are the proud fathers of 15-month-old twins Gideon and Harper and Harris gushed about all the joys of fatherhood to PARADE about all the joys of fatherhood.

"I love to watch them learn to understand language. And watching them interact with each other is fantastic," Harris stated. Adding, "We're lucky that we have two because they always have a playmate and they get to learn complicated concepts like sharing and cooperation. They get to learn those things a little earlier because they're with each other all the time. Watching their minds tick is fun."

Harris also talked about his busy schedule, saying, "I have an unbelievable assistant who handles all of my scheduling! It's like a Tetris game. I've been doing this for a while and sometimes you have spells of busyness and other times you're clamoring for work. It's nice to not be put out by being so busy, but to try to embrace it and make smart choices. I guess I'm in a nice position that way. I get to choose things that interest me as opposed to trying to get any job that will have me, which for a vast majority of actors is the case."

As for his time off, Harris says, "Sleep! Nap! And I'm sort of a tool-around-the-garage guy. I've got a workbench and I like to fix things. Well, I like to say I'm going to fix things and then put them on my workbench and then never get to them!"
