Piggybacking off your piggyback responding to me...
One of the coolest feelings is when he legitimately enjoys the things I enjoy. We watch Digimon, Godzilla, and X-Men together - I got him a Guilmon plush for Christmas last year and he's insisted on taking it everywhere with us ever since (only one of two plushes I've seen him actually want to sleep with), and for Halloween we're going together as Wolverine (him) and Sabretooth (me).
Mutually enjoying stupid nerd shit with my son has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.

Piggy backing off this, another answer to the original post would be "feeling truly understood by someone you care about"
It sounds like you're that for your son on a regular basis, so, good job.
