Not a professional athlete or a celebrity or a superhero. Just like me. I'm literally just a guy with a job and a family. But he said he wants to be a dad who builds things and goes to work and comes home and plays with his kids. I had to excuse myself and cry in the garage for a minute. Peak dad moment right here.
That's everything right there man. My three month old won't remember these early days but I'm already thinking about moments like this. You're doing it right.
This is the good stuff. My kids say stuff like this and it hits different than any accomplishment at work ever could. You're his superhero whether you feel like one or not.
That's what it's all about. Being present and showing up for them, that's the template they're learning. Sounds like you're nailing it.
That's the whole ballgame right there. Being present and genuine matters way more than any achievement. Your kid knows what matters.
Man that's beautiful. The fact that he just wants to be like you, not some celebrity version of you, says everything about the kind of dad you are.

This hits different man. My oldest said something similar last year and I honestly teared up a bit. They don't care about the fancy stuff, they just want you there and paying attention. Sounds like you're doing it right.
