Using 我爱爸爸
爸爸 is “dad”, a doubled baby-talk syllable just like 妈妈. 我爱爸爸 is the line children write in Father's Day cards and birthday notes — and say when dad comes home from a long trip. For kids who have learned 我爱妈妈, this is the same sentence with one character changed, which makes it a gratifying second target.
In Traditional Chinese it is 我愛爸爸; only 爱 changes, to 愛. Extendable card sentence: 爸爸，我爱您 — swapping in the polite 您 — or the playful 爸爸，你最好 (“Dad, you're the best”).
