Took him to the parking lot this morning and after about 20 minutes of wobbling he just... got it. I let go and he pedaled like 30 feet before stopping. The look on his face was pu
Packed up Friday after work with my two boys, found a decent spot about 2 hours away. We hiked, made s'mores, told ghost stories around the fire. The whole weekend nobody asked for
Been working with him on this for months and he finally got both shoes tied. He looked up at me with the biggest smile and said 'Dad I did it!' I literally got choked up. These lit
Usually they just want cereal but I felt like trying something different. Threw in some blueberries, made them into fun shapes with the spatula. My 4 year old said they were 'the b
Fair and square too. She's been practicing and I wasn't going easy on her. When that final lap finished and she crossed first I literally cheered for her. She got so happy she coul
8 hours in the car. Packed snacks, downloaded movies, had a playlist going. Only one major meltdown which honestly is a miracle. We made it to my parents house without anyone sayin
I know this sounds small but it felt huge. Built a fort in the backyard, they had a whole adventure thing going on. I checked on them every 20 mins and they were genuinely having f
She's 8 and has been asking all week. Got her a nice dress, I'm wearing actual pants that don't have paint on them. She's so excited she made me a sign to put on my door that says

Guys I'm still shaking. My 10 year old stepped up to the plate today and absolutely crushed one over the left fielder's head. Bases were loaded. I got it on video. The whole team w
No phones, no rushing around, just me and my three at the park for like three hours. We played tag, went down the slides approximately one million times, had a picnic, and just goo
Been waiting years for this moment. My 7 year old actually got one of my dad jokes and laughed for real, not just to make me feel good. Made a comment about his room being a disast
My boy has dyslexia and reading has been really tough for him. He's been working with a tutor since January and honestly there were times where we both felt discouraged. Report cam
Been working with her all summer. She'd get so frustrated and cry saying she couldn't do it. Today we went out, I held the seat like usual, and then I just let go. She made it like
We were just playing in the backyard, nothing special, throwing a ball around. He looked at me and said 'Dad you're the best dad ever in the whole world.' Now I'm sitting at my des
Been working with him all summer and today it finally clicked. He rode about 50 feet down the driveway before bailing but he didn't even cry. Just got back up and wanted to do it a
Seriously. Three days in the woods, minimal service, cooking over a fire, sleeping in a tent. My 8yo and 10yo were genuinely happy the whole time. No tablets, no complaining about
Made a terrible dad joke at dinner and somehow it spiraled into 10 minutes of the worst puns and jokes. The kids were laughing so hard they could barely eat. My wife was groaning b
We've been working on his reading all summer and tonight he just grabbed a book and read the whole thing out loud. He nailed every word and didn't ask for help once. The look on hi
