Made chocolate chip pancakes this morning for the kids. Literally just threw chocolate chips in the batter, nothing fancy. My daughter took one bite and said 'Daddy these are the B
Dropped my son off for his first day yesterday and I was prepared to be emotional. Wife had tissues ready for me and everything. Got him to his classroom, he gave me a hug, said by
My 7 year old told me I run like a chicken and walk like I forgot how to use my legs. My wife is dying laughing and I'm trying not to laugh because I need to maintain some authorit
She's 5 and can't really write yet but she drew me with a big smile and wrote 'I love dad' (with her mom's help on the spelling). I'm sitting here at my desk trying not to cry at w
He's been playing baseball since spring and struggling really hard. Strike outs, grounders, the whole thing. Today at his game he connected and sent one sailing over the left field

Usually bedtime is a nightmare with negotiations, delays, questions about whether sharks sleep, the whole deal. This week I instituted a 30 minute wind down routine with no screens
Been working on this for like 3 months. Today he did it completely on his own without asking for help. We celebrated like he won the lottery. Small win but honestly felt huge.

Not a professional athlete or a celebrity or a superhero. Just like me. I'm literally just a guy with a job and a family. But he said he wants to be a dad who builds things and goe
Made roasted broccoli and carrots for dinner, they ate it all. No fights, no negotiations, no hidden food under the table. I don't know what I did different but I'm counting this a
Reading to my boys before bed and my oldest just leaned his head on my shoulder while I was reading. His little brother was already out. Just sitting there in the lamp light, his w
Dude. MY SON SCORED A GOAL. He's been playing for 2 months and was honestly pretty shy about the whole thing. Today he got the ball and just went for it and scored. The celebration
She walked across that little stage in her cap and gown and I absolutely lost it. She saw me in the audience and her whole face lit up. My wife nudged me because I was ugly crying
My 2 year old daughter just walked up to me out of nowhere, put her little hand on my face and said 'I love you daddy'. I was making lunch, had no idea it was coming. Now I'm sitti
