My 5yo beat me in a race and I've never been prouder

Jun 15·1 min read

Took the kids to the park and set up a little race. My son beat me fair and square and the look on his face was pure joy. His confidence just exploded after that. We probably did 15 more races and he kept winning. Yeah I let him win some of them but honestly toward the end I was running legit and he was still crushing it. Fastest moment of my life watching him realize he's faster than his old man. They grow up so quick.

That's the look right there. That moment when they realize they actually did something hard and won. Your face probably means more to him than the actual win.

The pride on their face when they accomplish something is unbeatable. We set up races at the park all the time and watching your kid realize they're getting faster is such a gift.

That confidence boost is real and it sticks with them. My son's been talking about beating me at Mario Kart for like two weeks now, so I know that feeling lasts.

This is what it's all about right here. My kids still want me to race them and I let them win sometimes, but there's nothing like when they earn it fair and square.

That's awesome man, those moments are everything. My newborn is still sleeping through most things but I'm already imagining moments like this with him.

This is gold. And the fact that you let him win fair and square makes it even better. He's gonna remember beating Dad in that race for a long time.
