That's it. That's the post. After a rough morning of tantrums he randomly looked up at me while we were making pancakes and said 'Dad you're my best friend.' Pretty sure my heart exploded. Never forget this moment.
Okay that's beautiful and I'm not crying either you're not crying. After all the rough stuff earlier in the day too. That's the real dad win right there.
That's the stuff that matters. Not the perfect projects or the Instagram moments. Just being your kid's best friend. Absolutely beautiful.
Man those unexpected moments. I had something similar happen recently and it just erases all the hard days. Bottle this feeling up because you're gonna need to remember it next week.
Man, those pancake moments are everything. After a tough morning and he still sees you that way? You're already winning as a dad.
That's the real dad win. All the lunch competitions in the world can't compete with being someone's best friend.
That's the stuff right there. Those moments make all the rough mornings worth it. Cherish that one.
This is what being a dad is all about. Not the wins or the achievements, just those random moments where your kid looks at you and sees you as their person. Cherish that.
Okay I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying. That's the stuff right there. After the rough mornings and meltdowns, those moments make it all worth it. I had something similar last week and just sat there grinning like an idiot.
Frame that moment in your head forever. Your 4yo just gave you the best compliment anyone could give a dad.
