John Stamos’ “full house” may not feel quite as full today. The beloved actor from the “Full House” sitcom tried not to cry when his 4-year-old son got all dressed up for his first day of school.
Stamos, 59, and his wife, Caitlin McHugh, share love for their son, Billy.
Stamos posted a photo on Instagram of himself and Billy in front of their house.
“One of us is starting his first day at school. And the other is doing everything in his power not to cry,” Stamos wrote alongside the sweet picture. They are both wearing matching white button-up shirts.
McHugh also posted a photo of herself with their Billy and their dog Lilo. She wrote on the post, “Today was Billy’s first day at a new school! Nervousness and excitement all around.”
She also added, “So happy Lilo is improving with her treatments. Thank you for the thoughts, prayers, and healing vibes. It’s helping!”
Stamos had previously shared on social media that their dog was battling lymphoma.
Before Billy started his first day of school, the family took an opportunity for an adventure over the weekend. The three of them visited Disney Junior’s “Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends” VIP event at the Santa Monica Pier in California.
Stamos is the voice of Iran Man in the animated series. The trio wore their superhero tees and posed for photos at the event. The actor previously told Today Parents about his new role and how he is earning some street cred with his preschooler.
“I’ve been trying to get Billy to think I was cool since he was two months old,” he said. “Now he thinks I’m cool. Now he runs around telling everyone, ‘My dad’s going to be on ‘Spidey!’”
“Finally!” he added.
Stamos said that the road of father in his 50s is the best one yet.
“I’m very grateful to the gods or to the universe or whatever that I’m an older father. I couldn’t have handled it earlier,” Stamos said. “I’ve wanted kids my whole life. I figured, ‘I can’t wait to be a father, I’ve been a TV father,’ but it’s a whole different ballgame.”
“It’s the greatest blessing of my life. I couldn’t imagine my life without him, but it is challenging to do it right,” he said.
