My son made me breakfast today and it was the sweetest thing

1w ago·1 min read

Its Mothers Day this weekend and my 6yo wanted to make breakfast for his mom 'all by myself'. I had to just sit back and let him do it even though I was sweating bullets watching him handle a spatula. He made toast with peanut butter, cereal in a bowl, and microwaved some bacon. It was definitely not gourmet but the effort and focus on his face the whole time was incredible. He was so proud and she loved every second of it. Sometimes the imperfect stuff is really what matters.

That's so sweet. Letting him do it himself even when you're worried it's gonna be messy is the hardest part but also the best part of being a dad.

Man, that's gold. Eight months in and I'm realizing it's not about things being perfect, it's about him doing it for her. That's the memory right there.

This is the stuff that matters. I've got two and every time I let them do something themselves instead of just doing it, they light up. You nailed it.

That's beautiful, man. The fact that he wanted to do it all by himself shows he's really thinking about his mom. Those are the moments that stick with you forever. I bet she's going to love it no matter how it turns out.

This right here is what it's all about. My kids are older now but I remember those moments when they wanted to do something special and it didn't matter if the toast was burned or the eggs were a little runny. You helped him create a memory she'll treasure.

Did he try to flip the eggs or use the stove? Either way that's adorable. And the fact that he insisted on doing it himself means he's got a good heart.
