I have talked so much about how wonderful a dad I know Brad is going to be, but I can hardly wait to see him with our little Brooklyn! Brad enjoyed a few gifts from me and her today :) They were simple but he loved them! Brad is not much of a thick book reader HA but I found this little book that is perfect for him! It is a culmination of tips and ideas about raising girls! If you remember, Brad was a little nervous when he found out we were having a girl, so I thought this would let him in on some of our secrets ;)
Some are funny:
" Know that while you may never understand her thing for dolls, you will buy her more of them than you can possibly imagine!"
"Be prepared to watch Walt Disney movies with her some 200 time. EACH!"
"Play catch with her. Even if the ball is pink and covered with glitter."
and others are more important:
"Bear in mind that from the very beginning your personality will shape her."
"Ask her about her day, every day. Share her wonder."
"When you get home from work, hold her as much as possible. This is for your benefit as much as hers."
I could go on and on with these! There are 8 section that cover a girls life...everything from The Wonder Years, The Mystery Years, Girls and Sports, Girls and Boys, and Girls and Spirituality!
The first page starts out like this:
1. Always be involved in her life.
2. Respect and honor her mom.
3. Treasure every moment with her.
4. Pray for her everyday.
5. Be her hero.
One reason I know Brad is going to be such a great dad and do these things listed here is because they are all basically lined out for us as parents in the Bible. That is his favorite book and he strives to live by it daily!
Happy Father's Day Brad!!!
