Kevin Costner

He is kind of a night owl. He’s not helping his mommy [Christine] because he staysup. His mommy stays up [with him]. I’ve never been a late person. Wetrade a little bit, but the big thing falls to her.

While he is still an "itty bitty," Kevin already hopes for great things for Cayden and has a lot of love and guidance to give to him.

He’s a little boy and I will show him things that will hopefully guidehim through his life and maybe we will raise a young man that makes adifference. He’s just needs a lot of love right now. He is real ittybitty.

With Father’s Day looming, the Mr. Brooks star says he has no definiteplans yet with his other children, Annie, 23, Lily, 20, and Joe, 19.

I’m not sure where we will be at this moment. I don’t have to be near my kids to be close to them.

I was sleeping with him and looking at him. I got on the plane and I was on the plane with my two daughters and they both fell asleep in my lap on the plane coming over. So I’ve got a 16-day-old and I’ve got these 20-year-olds – you know, there’s really no difference. You just love ‘em. They still want money and stuff.

Well, [my kids are] always a surprise, but the reality is I’d kill for my kids. Andthat’s a bold statement. It makes everybody sit up, but that’s inside us. And that’s inside themovie, as an idea. I hope to be surprised…I want to be surprised tomorrow. There’s great pleasurein that experience.

One thing he’s not surprised with, though, is being a new father, as he jokes,

I’mnot surprised. I knew [wife Christine] was pregnant for nine months. It wasn’t,’Holy Toledo! What just happened?’ I knew we were expecting.

As for how he is around Cayden, Kevin says there’s a lot of wondering and suspense.

I’m like every male, going, ‘What’s happening with him? He looks kind of thesame today as he looks yesterday. When is he going to start wanting to play?’ You move them alittle too much and they start crying. The great thing is it’s familiar and it’s original.

While many people think they’re better parents the second time around and so forth, Kevin feels the exact opposite.

I feel really good about the kind of dad I was the first time around. I was there for all the little moments, like when my kids forgot to sing in their school play because they were too busy waving at me. I can’t wait to have those moments again.

At 52, Kevin says he’s not concerned about being an older dad either.

I don’t kid myself about certain realities: I won’t be around to see as much of this one’s life as I’ll get to see of my older kids’ lives. So with him, I really want to be there for every single moment that I can.

The Mr. Brooks star also couldn’t wait to shower Cayden with love and affection, which he says all his kids have an excess of.

All of my kids are showered with love, which is what’s important. I didn’t have much as a child, but if you’d asked me back then, I thought I had everything. We had this dinky backyard in Compton, CA, and I thought it was a kingdom. I’ve always taught my kids that they have to work hard and stand on their own two feet.

Kevin has instilled such a strong sense of self-reliance and hard work that Annie placed herself on a shopping budget since she’s starting out on her own. As a result, Kevin took her on a shopping spree, which he loves doing with his daughters. He and his kids also bond over their shared love of music – Kevin performs in the rock band Modern West.

My son Joe is a great songwriter and my daughters both have bands, and I really enjoy singing with them too.

The actor says he sees no differences in raising boys and girls, except for maybe one thing.

I’ve always been really close to my girls, but I can’t say I see much difference — except that my girls will occasionally make me a sandwich and my son won’t.

As for Father’s Day, Kevin says he’s not expecting any lavish gifts from his children.

No, I get enough attention already. But if I didn’t get a phone call from my kids, I guess I’d miss it. Not that that’s a hint or anything…

Do you find raising daughters vs. sons different?

When I watched the ultrasound picture, I had a feeling he would looklike Kevin. We could already see the facial features of the baby – theywere so explicit and detailed.

Could you pick out details from your children’s ultrasounds?

Kevin Costner

On impending parenthood: We are so happy. I’m going to be a mother and it’s the most beautiful thing in the world.

Who will the baby look like?: Christine says, I’m sure the baby will look like his father, but the next baby will look like me.

Sooo, judging from that last answer – more kids?: Kevin already has four children – Annie, 23, Lily, 20, Joe, 19, and Liam, 10, plus the baby boy on the way. Still, Christine says, We want a whole football team.

Kevin loves pampering his pregnant wife: Christine says, Kevin takes great care of me.  If I would have known earlier, I’d have gotten pregnant years ago. He’s pleased as punch and has already bought all the baby stuff. Toys, clothes, pacifiers, a little baby bed… everything a baby needs.
