A day with Daddy at the track.

     My daughter is a daddy's girl. If she has a choice of going shopping with mommy or staying home with daddy while he is working on a car she will stay with daddy every time.  That daughter of mind loves her daddy and wants to be like him. It is amazing to me the way she picks up his mannerisms. Sometimes she will look at me with a certain expression and I can see him up and down.

     My husband, her daddy, has a dragster and she wants one two. She is a bit young for one now but she is doing the next best thing, she is going to the race track with her dad and watching the race cars with him. It is a time when they can be together and simply enjoy being father and daughter. I have to admit sometimes I get a little jealous of the time they spend together, but then I think about it.  She will not be little long and they are making memories that will last a lifetime and I really do believe that she will tell her children about the wonderful times she spent with her daddy when she was a little girl.  Just like I do to her and her dad does to her.  Some memories are worth making and holding on to.

A Trip to the Zoo

My daughter's first grade class had a field trip to the NC zoo and I can tell you she had a wonderful time.  She saw elephants, giraffes, zebras and even took a ride on a merry-go-round.  This trip is one that she will remember for years to come.

My Daddy's girl

 

     Well tomorrow is my little ones birthday.  It's true the time does fly by.  It seems like only yesterday me and John were bringing her home from the hospital.  When I think of our life before she was born is seems so quite and uneventful.  Since the day she was born she has brought such joy into our lives.  Many people would not understand unless they were a parent themselves.  My Husband has told me countless times that he never imagined how much he would love her and what a blessing she is to us.  Not a day goes by that me or my husband don't tell her that we love her and that we are glad she is in our life. 

     The one thing that has happened since she has been born is the fact that I love to watch her be a daddy's girl.  That child of mine simply loves her daddy.  When I give her a choice about who be with with her dad at home or her mom to the store she would rather stay with her dad at home.  I really think she could stay in the shop with her dad all day and never get tired. 

My daughters new favorite toy

     I can say one thing about my little one, when she starts liking something there she likes it with everything in her.

     This is a purple minion that I crocheted for her and I thought she would simply just sit it on a shelf and look at it, bou was I wrong.  I seems that my daughter never lets this purple minion out of her sight.  She sleeps with it, she eats with it, she even wanted to take it to school with her, that was where I had to draw the line.  I mean if she took it to school with her there would be no telling if it would come back in one piece.

     I am glad that she likes the little critter that I made for her, the only thing is I did not have a pattern and I know that before to much longer I will have to make her another one, I just hope when I do she will love that one as much as she loves this one.
