After 8 months of practice I just changed my son's diaper in 27 seconds flat. No explosion, everything went smoothly, he barely cried. My wife walked in and was like 'did you just.
I was opening a jar at lunch and my 4 year old goes 'daddy you're the strongest person in the whole world!' Literally made my entire week. She's been tough on me lately with the wh
She came home from school today and said she wanted me to be her date for the spring dance instead of going with her friends. My 9 year old still wants to spend that time with dad
Three months of practice and today he just took off down the driveway without holding onto me. I'm talking full independent pedaling, no wobble, pure confidence. Had to sit down af
He was worried all week about tryouts, kept saying he wasn't good enough compared to the other kids. We went to batting practice a few extra times and just talked about doing his b
Dude. DUDE. My 9 year old hit a home run in his baseball game today and I'm still shaking. He's been practicing all season and striking out most games. But today the pitch came and

He wanted me specifically. Said I'm good at figuring stuff out. We built a little catapult thing together and it actually works. Gonna submit it Monday and I don't think I've ever
Got to pick up the kids right at 3pm, no earlier, no later. Avoided the crazy parking lot chaos AND they weren't waiting around. Parked perfectly in one spot. This might be my best
Been working on this for like 3 months. Today we took the training wheels off and he just... did it. Went down the driveway like he's been doing this forever. My wife got it on vid
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
My 3 year old has been in full possession mode at daycare. Got a call about incidents pretty regularly. We started a reward chart where he gets a sticker for sharing and after like
Organized a whole backyard scavenger hunt for my 8 year old's party. Had 12 kids running around finding clues I made myself. Expected complete chaos but they were actually engaged
Spent like 20 minutes watching YouTube videos but I did it. My oldest stood there watching the whole time asking questions. Showed him how to use the wrench and everything. He kept
