Big Smile, No Teeth: All I want for Father's Day is my little boy calling me dad

For Father's Day 2021, columnist Jason Godfrey is celebrating being called dad by his 15-month-old baby boy. — 123rf.com

My 15-month-old son has taken to running around the house yelling “Taataaa!”, which is Romanian for dad (my wife is Romanian). He screams it whenever he enters a room and I’m there, and I have to wave and smile at him, at which point he smiles back and whispers contentedly, “Tata”.

I know to anyone else seeing this scene, it looks incredibly annoying, but he’s my boy, and it’s pretty much the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, every single time he does it.
