Bradley Ward has one piece of advice for soon-to-be dads – cherish every moment, celebrate each milestone.

Children grow so fast, the Eynesbury father says … “just enjoy it.”

“It comes that quick and they grow that fast, [so] each milestone … when they clap or walk, really enjoy it.”

With his three children, Tayla, 16, Campbell, 12, and Harrison, 11 months by his side, Mr Ward will be among millions of Australian dads to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday.

For him, the day will start with a special bacon and egg breakfast, followed by visits to his father-in-law and dad, topped by a relaxing evening at home.

Mr Ward says while he’s looking forward to being spoiled, his favourite gifts are the sentimental ones.

“Just the personal cards you get,” he says.

“The kids always seem to put something in them you’ve done with them.

“It sounds silly, but the cards and spending the day with the kids is the best gift.

“I’ll come home and little Harrison’s face will light up – doesn’t matter what happened 10 minutes ago, when the kids come home from school, that’s worth it all.”
