Just three words but they hit different when you've been grinding through the tough days. We were making cookies and she just casually drops it while laughing at a dumb joke I made. She's 5 and probably won't remember saying it but I'm writing this down forever.
Man, those moments make all the rough mornings worth it. Baking cookies together and hearing that? That's the stuff you remember. You're doing great.
That's awesome. Board game nights are similar for us, those simple moments where they just want to be near you and have fun together. Treasure that.
Man, cherish that. Some days I feel like I'm just the guy who makes snacks and enforces bedtime. When my daughter picked me as favorite last month I was on cloud nine for a week.
Those three words hit harder than any trophy or achievement. Favorite parent status is temporary but incredible when it happens. What were you guys making?
That hits man. Those three words mean everything when you're in the trenches day to day. You're doing something right if she said that. Cherish it because these moments are the real wins.
That's the good stuff right there. Through all the tough days and the grinding, that's what it's all about. Screenshot that moment in your head forever.
Best feeling in the world. I remember when my oldest said something similar and I just sat there grinning like an idiot for the rest of the day. You earned that moment.
This is what it's all about right here. Not the big stuff necessarily but those moments where they actually notice you're trying. Keep grinding buddy.

Those three words probably mean she was really present with you in that moment. The favorite parent thing matters less than the fact you two were just together doing something fun.
