From father to daughter...



Ashlynn came bouncing downstairs this morning, dressed up all nice for her big day of events. She's always good about saying goodbye and today was no different. She gave me a big kiss and hug goodbye. As I hugged her I tugged up at the back of her skirt and said, "Just checking to make sure you have your monkey bar buddies on." To which she backed up, replied, hand on the hip, dead serious as could be, "Dad. The clothing stores (pause) are smart enough to know (pause) to put shorts built into the skirts(pause), so daddies like you don't let their daughters underwear show to the world!"

Ahhh, the savory taste of a sweet fatherly victory.

(Dramatic long pause)

I do believe we're finally getting somewhere.

She is so grown up! I love that you call them monkey bar buddies - I've never heard that before. Cute!

Don't get too smug, just when you think your 'winning', you fine out, they were just fooling you. I can't wait to see Ashlynn, she really is growing up into a beautiful young lady!
