Forget What to Expect When You're Expecting. Allow Ryan Reynolds to explain the art of parenting.
The actor is currently expecting his second bundle of joy with wife Blake Lively, who gave birth to their first daughter James almost two years ago. Since becoming a father, Reynolds has all but made it his mission to impart the lessons he's learned as a first-time dad to the Twittersphere in the hilariously sarcastic manner his followers have come to know and love.
From cringe-worthy anecdotes to candid commentary about their little girl's antics, we can already imagine a few years down the line when 14-year-old James can't stop blushing from total embarrassment over her dad's social media presence.
In honor of Ryan, we've rounded up 27 of his best parenting tweets below:
Damn it's hard letting your infant daughter go somewhere alone for the first time. I was a total mess dropping her off at Burning Man.

Inside my daughter's diaper this morning, I found a half-digested wolf. Try me. https://t.co/6wuZLsl7Nu

It's important kids eat 5 servings of vegetables daily. Even if childhood is just a dress-rehearsal for extraordinary adult suffering.

This morning, my daughter said, "quiche" which means she's smart, hungry and an asshole.

They should call "fighting pits" something else because my baby just plays with the other babies.

Put the baby down in her crib tonight. She scrunched her nose so cute, giggled, then turned into thousands of bats.

No matter which kids book I read to my screaming baby on an airplane, the moral of the story is always something about a vasectomy.

Being a father is the single greatest feeling on earth. Not including those wonderful years I spent without a child, of course.

My infant daughter's traumatized for life. 50 Shades of Grey = Worst fucking coloring book ever.

Proud of my baby daughter placing last in her old-timey, bare-knuckle street fighting class. Congrats to her 31 year old opponent, Rick.

What's better than a 12 hour drive with a screaming 1 year old? Not including hepatitis.

My daughter just sneezed into my yawning mouth. Seemed really fucking pleased with herself. Joke's on her. She'll have to bury me someday.

Love writing nursery rhymes for my daughter. Her favorites are, "Sunshine-Cuddle-Time!" and "Everyone You Know Will Eventually Die."

I'd walk through fire for my daughter. Well not FIRE, because it's dangerous. But a super humid room. But not too humid, because my hair.

Nothing better than spending an entire morning staring into my baby daughter's eyes, whispering, "I can't do this".

It was all the gift I needed as I packed a bag and left for 6 years to write a book on parenting.
My daughter's only 6 months old and already drawing. I'd hang it on the fridge but honestly, it's absolute garbage.

LOVE dressing my daughter in baby clothes. The itsy-bitsy pink pajamas. The tiny white socks. The black leather mask. Cuteness overload!

Selecting a lower back tattoo for an infant is easy. Finding someone willing to do the work is challenging. https://t.co/8IcMRo21fw

I'm teaching my daughter that the sun goes down each night because it's mad at her. Probably gonna write a book on parenting at some point.
