Watch: Josh Duhamel's Earliest Childhood Memory

Josh Duhamel's got kids on the brain these days—in every possible way.

The star, whose wife Fergie is expecting their first child, is set to host the Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday, and it looks like he's all prepped for slime time.

E! News caught up with the 40-year-old Safe Haven actor this week to chat about both his upcoming hosting shindig and fatherhood, and the star couldn't be more psyched to welcome the latest addition to his and his ladylove's growing family.

"It's something that we've wanted for a very long time, and this was the right time for us," he says about Fergie's pregnancy, which he described as the most amazing experience.

"She's handling it beautifully," he explains, giving props to his missus, "and we're both just over the moon about it." 

Impending parenthood has also prompted the star to look back on his own experiences growing up, and he gamely shared one of his earliest memories as a child—and some very important life lessons imparted by his mother.

"My oldest memory as a kid is I stole a toy form Kmart," he frankly admits. "I was probably 4 years old, it was one of my first memories."

Of course, his mom, who was with him, was none too pleased. "I remember she got so mad at me. She drove us back to Kmart and made me go and hand it back to the people behind the counter."

Sounds like the guy could use some slime time!
