Best Starts with Dad.

In a dusty, old album somewhere in my parents' house, there's a photo of 5-year old me with my Dad. We were in the zoo. We were both wearing shades. He had a moustache. I had a 10-peso haircut. I don't remember that day, actually. No memories of that trip whatsoever. Like I don't even recall the animals we saw. I only know this: it was my birthday and my dad skipped work to bring me to the zoo.


I really should look for that old photo. Maybe place it somewhere in my own house. Then again, it's securely planted in my head. There's an image of a dad and his son; the meaning of time spent together. While I take work seriously, like most people should, I also take trips with my daughter seriously. If that even makes sense. Perhaps it's my way of replicating an image in my mind.


Start them young. Start it young. I'm a dad hoping to collect as many photos and images of memorable trips with my daughter. The beach. A journey up the mountains. Plane rides. Road trips. 


Maybe twenty, thirty years from now, my daughter won't remember the details. Hopefully, twenty, thirty years from now, she'll recall the moments. Probably, twenty, thirty years from now, one of these photos will help her remember. 


Fellow fathers (and moms too!), feel free to celebrate your child's Best Starts in life with Dad moment with Mead Johnson Nutrition, makers of Enfakid A+ and Lactum 3+ & 6+ as they launch the BEST STARTS WITH DAD campaign.
