Our Dad, Our Favorite Days

Ryder Morrone shares what makes his dad, Matt, so special—with a little help from baby Sienna.

My dad’s name is Matt Morrone, and he makes regular days feel really fun.
My sissy Sienna is still a baby, but she loves to snuggle with Daddy. She is his little princess!
I love going to get my haircut with my dad. We go together, and he tells me how he used to go with his dad. I get my hair cut just like his, and after we’re done, I get a sucker. Sometimes he even styles my hair the same way as his.
We play a lot. I love sports, and we play together all the time. My favorites are golf and baseball. I also liked going to hockey games with him. At home, he lifts me up like an airplane, which is really fun.
I like going to see my dad at work, too. I follow him around, and sometimes I bring gloves home so I can play dentist when I get home.
One of my favorite things is going on the golf course with my dad. I also love playing with Hot Wheels cars that used to be his when he was little. Now they’re mine.
Every year, we go to Pinehurst together. I like putting, riding the trolley, and going on the train. I can’t wait until I’m older so I can play all the courses with him. That was the first trip we all took after my sissy was born.
Every night, he reads to us before bed. That’s something I really like, and we do it all the time.
Happy Father's Day!
