Tonight was my first "Daddy Daughter Date"
Nicki was gone all day to help our friends setup for a wedding, so I had Kayla all day because Brielle was at grandma and grandpa's. (I take no responsibility for my grammar or sentence structure right now, it's 12:30 and I'm really tired) Anyway, after Kayla got up from her nap, she was hungry. And since it was around 5pm, I figured it'd be ok to act like a senior citizen, and have dinner before 5. So we went to a pizza/pasta place and had dinner together. I'd been waiting for that my whole life, to have my child and I have dinner alone together. And it was every bit as special as I thought it would be.
I felt really blessed to be sitting next to Kayla, watching her color, then eat. I just held her little hand and told her how much daddy loved her and that I was proud to be her father. I know she doesn't understand all of that, but I think she could probably grasp that what I said was loving. It was a special moment for me. I wish I could put it into words better right now, but like I said, I'm tired. I will tell you that true to form, my girl ate like a bird on our first date. She hardly touched her dinner.
After we ate, we walked a few stores down and had some ice cream together. It was fun. She's a lot like me in that she has a very outgoing personality and will just start telling people random things. Tonight she started telling the ice cream lady what her favorite flavors were. The lady thought it was funny, and so did the other guy that worked there.
Then as we were walking back to the car I spotted the biggest Praying Mantis I've ever seen. It was on the concrete in the parking lot next to my car. Kayla noticed it too and bent down to examine it. She ALMOST touched it, but she wouldn't bring herself fully. She said "Daddy that's a mean one". I didn't disagree, even though I honestly know nothing about them. It did look pretty rough and tough. So we just left it.
Once we got home all she wanted to do was eat. Go figure.

As a server I sometimes see a daddy/daughter date (at least I assume that is why the middle aged man is with that teenage girl) and I can just see how healthy and important it is. Usually she is mostly texting under the table but at the same time I can see how she is going to be less desperate when those teenage Ricky Borba's promise the sun and moon and stars. So keep it up because pretty soon she is going to be attracted to boys who were JUST LIKE YOU!!
