Been working on this for months. This morning he just... did it. Double knot and everything. I literally teared up at the breakfast table. My wife thought something was wrong but n
Honestly thought this would be a disaster. No phones, no wifi, just me and three kids ages 4, 7, and 10 for three days. We caught fish, built a fire, told stories. My oldest said i
Been working with him for like 3 months. Today he just took off down the driveway and didn't fall. I was running behind him like an idiot with my phone recording. My wife came out
Usually he's glued to his phone or avoiding me. But today we were working on his car and he actually opened up about some stuff going on at school. We talked for like two hours in
Was doing a stupid impression of her soccer coach. She completely lost it. We were both dying laughing on the couch. These moments are why I do this. Just quality time being goofy
My 8 year old wanted to do something about water filtration. We built this whole thing from PVC pipe and sand and gravel. Won a blue ribbon. She designed most of it herself and I j
That's a win in my book. We went to a state park about 2 hours away, set up the tent together, did a campfire, made s'mores. My oldest (8) said it was the best day ever. One of us

No fighting, no lost shoes, no meltdowns. Everyone had breakfast. Everyone brushed their teeth. We left 5 minutes early. I don't know what I did different but I'm repeating whateve
I've been working with him all summer and today it finally clicked. He made it all the way down the driveway without falling and the look on his face was priceless. My wife got it
Made some kind of stir fry situation and didn't even call it that. Just said "dinner" and they ate it. My 4yo actually asked for seconds. I feel like I unlocked an achievement.
She's been a picky eater since forever. Tried everything. Then my wife mentioned that broccoli looks like little trees and she can be a dinosaur eating them. That's it. Now she dem
Been working with him all summer and today he just took off down the driveway. I was running behind him ready to catch him but he didn't need me. Went a good 50 feet before stoppin
We were just sitting in the living room watching cartoons and he randomly said it. No special occasion, no bribe, nothing. Just came out of nowhere. I told him he was the best son
No meltdowns. No lost shoes. No forgotten backpacks. Everyone had breakfast. I got them dressed without arguing about clothes. We made it to school 5 minutes early. I don't know wh
We have been living in a diaper prison for 18 months. The pull-ups, the accidents, the constant checking. Today our youngest went a full week without any accidents and we're callin
She's 8 and doesn't usually say sappy stuff. We were just hanging out building legos and she said it completely casual like it was the most obvious thing. I'm gonna ride this high
