"Daddy's girl, Daddy's girl, I am the center of my daddy's world." This is a song my husband sings to our girls. So cute and so true. Daddy's and girls they are just made for each other aren't they. Think about it from the first cry to the last good bye, that little girl has her daddy wrapped around their little fingers. Whether daddy is willing to admit it or not.
One of my husbands friends gave him some of the best words of wisdom ever. "Your daughter loves you now but when she a teenager she will break your heart." Can you imagine, breaking their precious daddy's heart?!? Well, I would like to say it is not true but how many of us mommas' broke our daddy's heart?
Immediately he went to our oldest and asked her, you will always love me right? Yes, daddy I will...don't be silly. She even told him one time she is being bad because she wasn't getting enough kisses. Fast forward 6 years later. Poor daddy, kind of gets left overs, not that mommy has replaced him. She has just gotten older and "mature" loving on daddy is just not so cool any more.

When girls are little they think daddy's are the best thing in the whole world, better than sliced bread. When they get to about 7 and 8 daddy's are still cool but maybe not the sliced bread they once were. Ten, Eleven threw about twenty...forget about it. Daddy, you are not so cool any more, well at least you won't know how cool you are because I am way to cool to tell you I love you.
Of course there are catches to this theory like, I really love you when I really want my friend to come over or I really want to stay up late. But my all time favorite is when little sister wants to be with daddy too. Then daddy is like a rock star who will win over daddy? The youngest daughter with a single tear running down her face or the oldest who suddenly wants daddy too?
I will have to say today, my husband was a champion and did not choose one over the other but instead chose them both. So all three won, a beaming daddy with his two favorite girls.
Daddy's are the best thing since sliced bread, I know my daddy is.
