We were just sitting on the couch watching cartoons together and she randomly said it. Didn't do anything special, wasn't even her birthday or anything. Just made her breakfast and
He looked at me and said "Daddy play with me now" clear as day. I know kids do this stuff but man it hit different hearing it. My wife and I just looked at each other in shock. Get
We've been working on this for weeks in the driveway. Today he just took off and rode like 50 feet on his own before wobbling but not falling. The confidence boost in his face was
Our oldest pulled a 3.8 gpa this semester. He was struggling a bit last year and we were worried but he buckled down, asked for help when he needed it, and it paid off. Took him ou
Legitimately destroyed me in three straight races. I'm not even mad, that's amazing. He's been grinding the game all week and finally put it together. Just told him he's never allo
After 6 months of what felt like complete failure, my 3yo finally decided she's ready to use the toilet. No more diapers during the day. My wife and I did a celebration dance that

Just found out my 9yo made the competitive soccer team she tried out for. She was so nervous going in, kept saying she wasn't good enough. Watched her play in the tryout and she ga
This might sound small but man it got me. He was just sitting in my lap this morning eating cereal and out of nowhere goes 'I love you daddy' and gives me a hug. I had to get up an
I'm not even mad about it. We've been playing together for a few months and he finally got first place on Rainbow Road while I came in 4th. The look on his face when he crossed the
Been working with him all summer and today he just took off down the driveway. I must have looked like an idiot running behind him with the biggest smile on my face. Wife got it on
Was helping him fix his skateboard and I made some dumb joke about it being radical or whatever. He actually laughed instead of groaning. His friends were over and one of them said
We were just sitting on the couch eating snacks and watching cartoons and he looked at me and said 'you're my bestest friend daddy.' I think I actually teared up a little. These mo
After months of getting destroyed I finally won a race fair and square. The kids were so mad they demanded a rematch and I let them win the next one because their faces were hilari
No help from me, just sat there and figured it out. Been working on this for months and today it just clicked. He was so proud of himself and honestly I got a little emotional watc
