The time parents have with their kids is oh-so-precious… and goes by way faster than you could possibly imagine. It can feel overwhelming at times to make the most of it. Luckily, there are tons of ways for parents to make memorable moments with their kids. One of the best, however, has to be the use of traditions. The very best ones don’t end at childhood, either. For example, a woman name Morgan says her dad still gives her a kiss on the cheek when he pumps gas.

This sweet tradition is one that Morgan’s dad started when she was just a baby. Sure, he could have stopped it once she got older. But it’s clear that, at 27 years old, Morgan couldn’t be more grateful for this ongoing tradition. See one of these moments in the video below!

“My dad does the same thing!! Anytime he sees me. He adopted me and I will forever cherish that,” someone else shares in the comments, another adding, “Stop this is so cute.”
Dad Always Takes a Moment to Kiss His Daughter On the Cheek When He Pumps Gas… and He Still Does Now That She’s an Adult!
As Morgan’s dad shows, you can start traditions even when your kid is still a baby. In fact, Katie Bunton and her husband, Harry, have a tradition that gets their babies super involved. On their twins’ birthday, Dad “races” them! Check out their first three races below.
@ktbunton The last one has me in shambles 🥺 this really puts into perspective just how fast time is going by and how much they’ve grown. I highly reccomend doing a tradition like this with your little ones, I can already picture how competitive they will become when they’re older lol How many years does Harry have left before he starts losing this race!? 😂 Happy Birthday to my beautiful, wild and cheeky little boys Oscar and Brooks. The boys who made me a Mama and changed my world forever 🫶🏽 #twindad #cutedad #emotionalvideo #birthdaytradition #momtok #birthdaytradition #fyp #trending ♬ Good Times Go By Too Fast – Dylan Scott
“I highly recommend doing a tradition like this with your little ones, I can already picture how competitive they will become when they’re older lol,” the caption of Katie’s post reads. “How many years does Harry have left before he starts losing this race!?”
Traditions don’t have to end with your own kids, either. A woman named Alice says that, for her birthday, Dad always gives her roses — the amount she gets reflects how old she’s turning. Alice’s husband felt inspired by this sweet tradition and started doing it for their own daughter.
@happilygiftedbyalice Growing up & still at 35, every year on my birthday, my dad sends me a bouquet of pink roses in the amount of the age I turned that year—no matter where I am or how old I am turning. It has been the sweetest tradition, one I look forward to every year — even though I told him he could cut it out when I turned 2 dozen roses old 😅😂 Yesterday, as I watched my husband carry on this beautiful tradition for our daughter’s first birthday, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with emotion. It’s amazing to see how these gestures, these tiny moments of love, create lasting memories and the impact a tradition can have. Pink roses—just like the ones my dad sends me—now mark the beginning of another chapter in her life. Full circle. 💖 • • • #firstbirthday #birthdaytradition #1stbirthday #girldad #sweettraditions #daddydaughter ♬ original sound – Aang
