I'm not talking about the obvious ones here, like first day at school, first steps, first word etc. I'm talking about the ones where your kid does something and you think, 'yes, I'm doing great things as a parent here'.
Now, you might think that these are pretty insignificant but to me, it's brilliant.
First one - my 4 year old going up to his friend who was balling his eyes out and offering him his favourite toy train in an effort to cheer him up. (no one ever gets to touch that train, so it was a big thing for him).
Second - after trying for a long long time, my 9 year old finally perfected the rainbow flick - brilliant!
Third - driving along the road and my son is sat in the back seat singing along to the Stone Roses. None of the namby pamby pop shite that his mum listens to, so the music I listen to is obviously being passed along. Again - brilliant!
The most recent one is when I took my kids on holiday and made them run around breaders screaming and shouting and generally being little shitbags in an effort to ruin his holiday, which was a resounding success by all accounts.
