Thomas Rhett is an involved dad of two toddlers girls and it's not uncommon to see him at his local Target store with both girls.

Rhett gave a social media update on his four-year-old Willa and baby sister, Ada, who is almost two. He shares, “Willa Gray’s book collection is gigantic. We’re really starting to get into the Dr. Seuss stuff, like Cat in the Hat. And she loves when the words rhyme, which tells me she’s going to be an incredible songwriter one day.”

Ada, in the meantime, is getting much more mobile. He says, “Ada’s walking and starting to say little words but they both are just playing so well together and like Willa Gray is just the best big sister to Ada and we’re just figuring it out as we go.”

Thomas just announced that he’ll be performing on NBC’s Saturday Night Live March 2nd, where he will be premiering new music to follow-up his #1 hit, “Sixteen.”

Willa helped make the SNL announcement on Daddy's socials on Monday.
