I have a two and a half year old son. So I try to daily tell him how much he is loved and we find something to work on together daily developmentally. Anything from coloring together or saying his abc's etc.
I had a good childhood, but my father wasn’t very emotional or there for me daily. He was a great provider etc. but I want my son and I to have a closer bond then I had with my dad.
So today we went to dinner together, just him and I to his favorite place (chick fila), when he was eating his fries, he looked up and said “daddy, I love you” then pushed his head in to my chest. Man, I can’t put into words what that little guy does for me as a person.
