Our 5yo got "Student of the Week" at preschool and the certificate is on the fridge

It's literally just a printout that the school does every week but you bet I called my parents to tell them. My kid is the proudest little human I've ever seen. He keeps pointing at it and telling everyone who comes over. This is the stuff they don't tell you about being a dad - how legitimately happy their tiny accomplishments make you feel.

This hit me hard. My 5yo got student of the week last month and yeah it's a printout that happens every week but watching my kid's face when I told him I was proud? That's what matters

Calling your parents is peak dad energy and honestly same. My mom was SO excited and asked to see a picture. The pride is contagious

Stop, this is so pure. The fact that you called your parents about a printout certificate is the whole vibe of being a dad and I'm here for it

honestly the fridge thing is sacred. That's his space on the fridge and it means everything. Keep celebrating the small wins, that's what they remember
