Ohanian’s tweet gave us a peek into his life as a loving dad. He posted the message on a Sunday morning and explained that he was in a hurry to take Olympia to her tennis practice, which was earlier than usual. He admitted that he wasn’t quite ready for such an energetic start to his Sunday. So, instead of making a full pancake breakfast, he shaped the pancakes into Olympia’s name in a snazzy font.

In his own words, “I was in a rush today to get @OlympiaOhanian to an unusually early tennis practice, and this big dog wasn’t ready for that kind of energy on this Sunday morning, so Jr had to settle for just her name today. She was still very happy to see it she asked me for ‘Tree Syrup’ bc I spoil her with the good stuff.”
