My 6yo was mad at me about bedtime, then five minutes later comes back to say sorry and that I'm his best friend. We gave each other a hug and he asked if we could be best friends forever. I obviously said yes. These days are numbered I know. Gonna remember this one.
The dog gets jealous when my kids hug me but honestly this is the stuff that makes it all worth it. That's a core memory right there.
This is what it's all about. With three under 10 here, I've learned that the apologies and the hugs are the real wins, not who was right about bedtime. Treasure that one.
These moments hit different, man. That's the stuff you'll remember forever, not the bedtime meltdown. Cherish it.
That's the sweet spot right there. Six is such a cool age where they start really communicating like that.

Man, those moments hit different. My baby girl is only a few months old but I'm already thinking about when she'll say stuff like that to me. You're winning at the dad game right there.
