I know this is basic but it got me. We were just sitting in the car waiting for his mom and he randomly said I'm his hero and the best dad. I'm not crying you're crying. These moments hit different when they're older and you realize how fast it goes.
Not basic at all man, this is the fuel that gets us through the long work days. When your kid tells you that out of nowhere, it hits different. You're crushing it.
That's not basic at all, that's everything. Those random moments in the car are the ones that stick with you. Sounds like you're doing something really right.
Dude, bath time fun is real but you're right, I'm not telling anyone either. That moment though, that's what being a dad is all about. Congrats on being his hero.
Those moments stick with you forever though. I still remember when my oldest said something like that a few years back and I just... honestly got a little choked up. Enjoy it man, they grow up fast.
This is everything. Getting told you're the best dad ever while just existing is peak parenting. Savor it because the teenage years are coming lol.
Those random moments hit different. My 8 year old did something similar last week and I just sat there grinning like an idiot. Treasure that stuff, man.
Not basic at all dude. That's the stuff you remember. My kids are older now and I'd give anything to go back to those simple car moments.

It's not basic at all. That's the stuff that matters. My 5yo told me I was her favorite last week and I felt like I could take on the world. Parenting can be brutal but man, those moments make it worth it.
Wait til they're teenagers and they don't say anything like that for five years straight haha. Soak it in buddy, seriously.
