"I want to be a hands on mom with milo"

Liv Tyler wants to be as hands-on as possible with son Milo — which means the usual disruptions.
“Milo (who calls her his princess) wakes up every morning at 5.30 or 6 — ping! — and so the hardest thing is the lack of sleep. I try and go to bed before 10 or 11pm, but it’s so hard. If I don’t get more than six hours of sleep for a few days in a row I start to really lose it and just feel so panicked and stressed.
"When people ask me, ‘What is the first thing you do in the morning? What’s your routine?’ I say, ‘Er, I get up. I make breakfast,’” she laughs breathily. “‘I beg Milo to try and snooze for 30 more minutes!’ Of course when they’re up, they’re up.”
She has added pressures in the motherhood arena; for her, the yummy-mummy contest at the school gate is on an altogether grander scale.
“The hardest thing is taking him to school, as sometimes I’ll literally just throw my coat on over my nightgown, but the paparazzi wait almost every day outside his school.
It’s so hard because I don’t want to think about what I’m wearing when I’m taking him to school. I want to get him to school safely, then do whatever I have to do.

”I love being a mother and a normal mother as much as I can, doing basic things. And I love my job and being spontaneous in life, and if you’re trotting around in heels the whole time, you can’t really do that.

What made you want to do Elmo and the Bookaneers?
Having grown up watching the show, you don't think twice. If they call and ask if you want to be on Sesame Street, you're just like "Absolutely! When and where?" I was excited when I heard I was going to be with Elmo, because Elmo's a rock star! And when I got to the set I found out what a juicy part I had -- a pirate captain. Just the coolest.
Do you watch the show with your daughter?
We do sometimes, but we've actually tried to cut out morning-time TV because it makes her a bit antsy. She definitely knows the characters, though.
Does she have a favorite?
She, like most children, is in love with Elmo. And she also likes Murray.
Did she go to the Sesame Street set with you?
She did, and she met Elmo and Oscar, though she was less than 2 at the time and a little scared of Oscar -- but she got her photo taken inside his trash can.
Do you take your daughter to work?
I try to take her once a week after preschool. Both my husband and I work here, so it's nice that she gets to see us. Just recently, she started to sit on the set and yell "action" and "cut."
Does she have any idea that Mommy is famous?
She's starting to, and I'm trying to figure out how to downplay it. I want her to know that to be famous is not really important and not a sign of any kind of merit. But I do like her coming on the set and seeing how different jobs work and that people have different roles in making the show.
We think that you're hilarious.

Does your daughter think you're funny?
I think she thinks that Daddy is funnier. And she's right.

She also knows that it's good to be funny.
