I was just sitting on the floor building Legos with him and he looked up and said 'Dad you're my favorite person in the whole wide world.' I'm not crying you're crying. These moments hit different when they're getting older and starting school.
This is what it's all about. Forget the fancy stuff, just being present on the floor with them means everything. Enjoy this while they still think you're cool.
Man, those moments are everything. My youngest is 5 and just last week she told me I was her favorite person in the whole world. Was building a blanket fort with her. You're doing it right.
Dude, save this memory. When they get older and start liking their phones more than you, you're going to want to remember what it felt like to hear that.
Man, that's everything right there. Those quiet Lego moments with no phone, no distractions, just you and him. That's what he's gonna remember when he's older.
My twin girls are 4 and say stuff like this and it just melts you. One day they're screaming at each other, the next they're telling you you're their favorite person. I'm writing this down to remember it forever.
This makes me want to skip my workout and just go play with my kids. Your 4 year old just summed up what being a dad is all about.

These are the moments you never forget. Just sitting on the floor building Legos with him and that comment hits different. At 4 years old they still think we're the coolest people alive. Soak it in buddy.
