Having three little girls it is easy to see how important 'daddy time' is for them and just having a man in their lives to love them and invest in their lives. As soon as daddy gets home they want to have 'wrestle time'. This gives them a chance to exercise their muscles and show dad how strong they are. Mommy usually sits back and waits for someone to come to her when they get hurt, kiss the boo boo's, and send them back into battle. It amazes me how much they love to be physical and rowdy. They know they can be rough and tough and not hurt him. Now that they are older daddy takes them out on 'special daddy dates'. Just one on one time with dad to hang out, eat together, talk, play somewhere, go to the driving range or putting green, or whatever they want. They LOVE their special dates and can't wait to be the next one in turn. I can't imagine raising these three beautiful little girls without their daddy. There is something special about the love that he can give them, that will instill in them a sense of self worth and confidence in who they are. Only he can model for them how a husband should treat his wife and how boys should interact with girls the right way. I can't model that for them. When they start dating and considering who they may want to some day marry(not for a LONG time!) I hope that because of the love their dad showed them, and the example he displayed to them as a husband and father, they will choose someone like him.
