Scotty McCreery is on the list of great dads in country music. The musician occasionally travels when he is on tour with his wife, Gabi, and his 2-year-old son, Avery.
The “Cab in a Solo” singer revealed a significant parenting tip that they, as first-time parents, sort of fell across in an exclusive interview with Adison Haager of Taste of Country.
That’s how they get their kid, Avery, psyched for a bus ride with their parents.
“He has his own tiny bunk, and we have toys all throughout the place. We have a few plush animals that he doesn’t bring home; they remain on the bus,” he says.
According to McCreery, this has made Avery’s road trip blues less severe.
“So like, the elephant and the monkey, he gets so hype to get on the bus, ’cause he can see elephant and monkey.”
Having everything so well-organized that some plush animals only reveal their faces when Avery is riding the bus to a performance is the epitome of parent swagger.
We hypothesize that discussions in the McCreery home may go something like this:
Scotty: Avery, would you like to see an elephant?
Avery: Daddy, I agree.
Scotty: Excellent! When we board the bus tomorrow, you will be able to see him. However, you might not see him for a few weeks after that, so play with him a lot.
Thanks to the clever ideas of mom and dad, the bus is a magical place.
