You can write about the bittersweet moments when they don't need you as much anymore. My boy had his first skate lesson at a real indoor skate park. He was super intimidated and wanted me to skate with him and the instructor. He immediately hit it off with the teenage instructor and forgot all about me. I went from being a skate partner to a photographer in 2 seconds.
Oh man, this happened to me last night. We built a KILLER mountain bike trail in our front yard. Dude had a friend over to ride last night and had no interest in me joining them.

Unfortunately, that's what we want for them, independence and new bonding experiences. Just as long as they don't completely forget about the old man.
Just more of the same for next year, please.
If only I had another 50,000 words about fatherhood laying around ;)
