Thankful for Daddy-Daughter Dates

“Daddy, can we have a date!?”

Every. Single. Week.

“How many days til our date!?”

The joy in these questions is so telling.

My daughter(s) love 1-on-1 time.

I will admit… consistency is not a strength of mine.

I fail to keep our schedule on far more weeks than I should.

And I am hoping to do better on that front!

The sweet memories that we make on our dates are fantastic.

They’re too young to even carry much of a conversation…

But the time is what matters.

A good friend of mine told me that (especially with girls)

Little things matter. Consistent. Little. Things.

Like a weekly date.

Ice cream. Breakfast. Lunch.

Nothing that breaks the bank.

Nothing that will take too much out of the work day.

But the time is very sweet and memorable.

And the impact that it has on my daughters is amazing.

So I am thankful for daddy-daughter dates.

I am thankful for the differences between us.

The girls can be so dainty. And nurturing.

And match clothes so easily.

But they love to be with her daddy…

Who is quite different.

What little things have made a difference in your life or in your kids’ lives!?

Would you care to share!?

Let’s help each other be better parents!
