My little woman never seems to have a matching pair of socks on. Can’t be bothered usually I suppose… BUT last Saturday she asked me to dress her up for her afternoon date with Daddy and then she went and found her ‘cupcake socks’. Not only are they her favorite pair, not only does she value them as her ‘good pair’ but they matched! I like to think she took the time to match her socks just for Daddy. I made sure to whisper to him as they where leaving ‘mention the cupcake socks’ and she beamed with joy when he did.
It was an afternoon made for my girl, involving tea and talking! He asked her what she wanted to do and she wanted to have tea with him. She insisted ‘not the cold tea, the hot tea!’ she is big now you know so no more cold tea! Such a lady she always explains if it is really hot she will need a spoon to sip it but if it is just warm she is fine with out. They sat on the patio and chatted, well she chatted, endlessly.
When she returned home she had the biggest smile. I was shown her wonderful ‘teacup to go’ and the smile continued long after the tea was gone. This smile was for Daddy.
My girl truly values a listening ear and adores time with her Daddy. I am so glad to see Daddy appreciates one on one time with each of his little ones… and me… well I can’t get over her cupcake socks, too cute!

What a precious story of a wonderful Daddy Date. Good for Garnet, pouring into his girls in this way!! Mark Driscoll is always talking about taking your girls on Daddy Dates, and says by the time other boys start noticing them, he’ll have had a good 15 years headstart with the dates, so the girls know how to be treated right 🙂
