“Are you going to play soccer? Are you a soccer guy now?” Tori asks her son, who confirms he will be.
“Jackson’s going to be able to participate with other kids with dwarfism, so yeah, I’m excited to show my kids that,” adds Zach in a confessional.
“He was too young to know what was going on,” Zach says. “I wonder what he’s going to think, seeing a bunch of other people who look like Dad walking around. I hope he loves it.”
Zach says he and Tori are “on the same page” about getting together with other little people, noting that they want to “give Jackson the chance” to “create those relationships” without “forcing it.”
