My 5yo read his first book by himself

I'm still emotional about this. He picked up Hop on Pop this morning and slowly worked through the whole thing. When he finished he looked up at me with the biggest smile and said 'I did it Dad!' I grabbed him and we just hugged. These moments go by so fast man. Taking the W today.

That moment right there is what it's all about. I still remember when my oldest finished his first book, the pride is unreal. Hop on Pop is perfect too, nice and simple to build that confidence.

Those eyes when they finish and look up at you knowing they did it themselves, man. That's the stuff you never forget as a dad.
