Not brilliant with kids: Simon Cowell

Los Angeles: `X Factor` judge Simon Cowell says he is excited to welcome his first child, a baby boy, with girlfriend Lauren Silverman, but also admits he`s not perfect when it comes to parenting.

"I`m not brilliant with babies. I never know what to do. But once he`s older I think I`ll be a good dad in terms of advice. And then I`ll get to do all the things I want to do, like go to Disneyland or Universal Studios, teach him how to drive?I love all that," Cowell told Parade magazine. The 54-year-old said that people might even be surprised to learn he`s really just a big kid himself. "I love animals and cartoons. I pretty much like everything I liked as a kid?the same foods and TV programs. I still watch Scooby-Doo. I never grew up," he said.
