Jenna Elfman Dishes On Her 'Genuinely Funny' Son Story

Soon-to-be mother of two — she recently announced she is due with her second child in March — Jenna Elfman has no qualms admitting she much prefers coddling over crying when it comes to her children. However, according to a new interview with Cookie magazine, there is much more laughter than tears in Jenna and her husband Bodhi‘s household!
“After dinner we chase each other around the house, laughing,” she shares, adding that the comedian of the bunch is often 2-year-old Story Elias.
“He’s actually genuinely funny. He does funny voices and physical comedy.”
On the other hand, motherhood isn’t always fun and games. Beginning with her difficulty in regaining her body after baby — something Jenna attributes to her c-section — the Accidentally on Purpose star also struggled with nursing her baby boy. “[My most frazzled mom moment was] trying to learn and master breastfeeding,” she recalls. Fortunately, her hard work paid off! “The breastfeeding really helped burn the pounds off,” she says.
As Jenna balances her role of both good and bad cop — “I play both depending on the issue and the timing of the situation” — she keeps the words of wisdom of her own mother in mind. “That you can never give a child too much love,” she explains. While she may appreciate her mother’s advice, Jenna, whose one wish is that she “had children sooner,” is also open to sleep habit hints.
“[I spend my nights thinking about] how to get my son to sleep through the night!”
