Spent three weekends working with him in the park. Lots of skinned knees and frustration from both of us but something clicked yesterday. I let go and he just kept going. Made it l
Been going to practice all season and he was frustrated because he hadn't scored. Today in the game he got the ball, drove it down field, and BOOM right in the net. Whole team went
My youngest told his buddy that his dad (me) is the strongest dad he knows because I can fix things and I don't get angry. His sister chimed in that I make the best pancakes. Wasn'
My 9yo hit her first home run at softball today and I literally couldn't stop myself from screaming like an idiot from the stands. Her teammates were looking at me like I was insan
Its Mothers Day this weekend and my 6yo wanted to make breakfast for his mom 'all by myself'. I had to just sit back and let him do it even though I was sweating bullets watching h
We did it. After literal months of bribes, accidents, regression, and pure stubborness from my son, he finally asked to use the toilet on his own this morning. No prompting. Just w
Made homemade pizza with the kids tonight. I fully expected them to reject it but they each ate 3 slices and asked when we could do it again. The 5yo even helped stretch the dough
We just went for a walk around the block and collected rocks. That's it. But he said it was fun and actually seemed to mean it. These moments hit different when you're not distract

Been working with him for months and today it just clicked. He did both shoes without any help and the biggest smile on his face. Had to take a pic because my wife was at work. The
I know this probably won't last forever but holy crap I'm riding this high all day. She's 8 and usually prefers mom for everything. I let her have ice cream for lunch and apparentl
After almost a year of dealing with pull ups and accidents, he did it. Full celebration dance happened in the bathroom. I don't care if it sounds weird but I was genuinely proud. W
We've been working on this all summer and today it just clicked. My wife was holding the seat and I was running alongside and then suddenly I just let go and he just kept going. He
Been putting off calling a repair guy because I knew it was gonna be like 300 bucks. My 11yo asked if he could help me look at it. We watched a YouTube video together and figured o
I know it's not even close to Father's Day yet but she insisted on doing it today. She and mom made scrambled eggs (a little runny but I ate every bite), toast with butter and jam,
She was scared of the deep end at the pool so I spent like an hour just being patient with her, showing her I had her back, no pressure. By the end she jumped in the deep end and s
Had my 9 year old out in the garage helping me change the oil and a spark plug. He asked good questions, actually paid attention to what I was showing him, and seemed genuinely int
My 7 year old scored his first goal ever in soccer today. He's been struggling all season, getting discouraged, talking about quitting. Then boom, he gets it past the goalie and th
We were just sitting on the couch watching cartoons and he said it out of nowhere. No context, just looked up and said 'Dad you're the best dad in the whole world.' I'm not crying
