Little Bronx’s Book List

December 21st, 2008 by

New daddy Pete Wentz is already planning on what he’ll read to his baby boy, 3-weeks old, Bronx Mowgli. He seems to be taking fatherhood seriously, since he has been all praises for his son, saying that he’s like “Columbus”, defending his pictures (or lack thereof) in his blog, and shopping for clothes and toys.

Curious about the books that this self-proclaimed emo rocker will read his son? Well, wonder no more!

“Growing up, my parents OD’d me on the library, and I was pretty loaded up when it came to children’s books. I definitely can’t wait to read some of my favorites, like ‘Goodnight Moons,’ ‘The Little Prince,’ and the ‘Mr. Men and Little Miss’ books,” he said, “I know that we already picked up the 50th anniversary copy of ‘Paddington Bear,’ which is a great one,” he added.

What?! No “Jungle Book” on the list? And here we thought that it was special.

Like any other new dad, is this Fall Out Boy, sleeping less?

“Ashlee is stoked because I don’t really sleep much. I’m not really worried about that. I should have been a shift worker. But in terms of how life might change, I have two dogs right now, and before I had the dogs, I was in a phase of my life that was particularly selfish. When I finally got them, I realized that if I didn’t get up, the dog doesn’t get fed, and no one is going to feed the dog for you,” the proud papa stated. He adds, “I spent 28 years living under this umbrella when it was raining out, and I finally removed the umbrella and felt the rain just like everyone else.”

Wow…and after this “deep” answer, he then told E! Online that his favorite thing about wife Ashlee is her breasts. No need to call in the big guns to understand that one.
