This has been a battle. We tried everything. Then one day he just decided he was done with diapers. We've had maybe 2 accidents in the past month. The peace and quiet during nap ti
We were just sitting in the garage while I was working on the truck and he said 'Dad you're my best friend and you're the coolest.' I literally had to walk away for a second. That
I've been struggling with this for months. Told her if she ate her broccoli she could help me build a fort in the living room. She demolished that plate and then we spent 2 hours b

He looked at me and goes, 'Dad, that chicken nugget is broken.' I have no idea where broken came from but we all lost it. The nugget was literally fine. My wife is mad at me for la
Dude I'm not even gonna lie, I got emotional. Been working with him all summer and today he just took off down the driveway. Ate pavement like twice but kept getting back on. My wi
We just built a fort in the living room and he spontaneously said it. Nothing I've accomplished at work or anywhere else has hit harder than that. Might be my favorite moment as a
I know this is small but it literally never happens. Told them bedtime was 8pm and they both got ready without argument and went to sleep on time. I'm not sure if I'm dreaming or w
Spent like 6 weekends working on this. She crashed like 5 times, I was ready to give up, but today she just clicked into it and rode down the whole street. The smile on her face wh
