From a daugher's perspective, or at least this daughter's, numbers 42 and 49 were key.

Ouch, the dust is hurting my eyes. You Too? Between this thread and the music video I agree. The only thing keeping me from going in my 14 month little girls room and hugging her is the wrath that would ensue from the wife for waking her lol. Can't wait till 0630 when I hear her playing in her crib. The wife has said that I need to leave her in the crib as long as she's happy to let her be independent. The wife will be at the gym so what she doesn't know won't hurt her. My babies getting extra daddy time and pancakes tomorrow

My daughter (also 27) wanted to take an old .380 I owned at the time when she went off to college; I offered her my Glock 26 instead, which she happily accepted. I just finally got it back from her (literally three days ago) after replacing it with a SIG. Mine didn't have to teach her new husband how to shoot, though; he's a former Marine with two tours in Iraq. |

My daughter took my Sig P6 with her, along with a 22 semiauto.
I haven't taught her to buy her own ammo yet, she raids my stash when she comes home. Good luck to your daughter too.... |

My little girl is on her way in 1.5 months. I always thought I wanted a boy, but this girl thing makes you think a lot more about being a strong male figure in her life. I was the same way. But now I wouldn't trade my bug for anything.

Thanks for posting. Three bits of wisdom I learned:
When your child wants you to pick them up realize that one day they will stop asking. When your child is struggling or being a total pain in the arse, that is usually when they need the most love. Tend your garden. You may be tired, cranky, or lazy but if you let the weeds grow you'll pay for it many times over. |

I am a father of 2 girls, one that is 5 years old and we are celebrating the others 1st birthday this weekend. OP, thanks for posting this, I have some catching up on a few of these. #6 is one of my favorite things to do with my 5 year old. She plays tee ball, like a boss. I know it is only tee ball, but this year she hit lead off every single game, and had a batting average of 1.000, ON THE YEAR. I was grinning from ear to ear that last game.

Got an RC Jeep. My little girl runs around fixing it for me. She's always trying to help me work on stuff. She's awesome!

When my daughter turned 3 my mom used this exact list to create a photo album and gave it to me. There is a picture of my little girl corresponding to each item on the list. I keep the album on the shelf with my reloading manuals to make sure I see it (and read it) often. She's almost 5 now and becomes more amazing everyday.
I can tell you #38 never applied to her. When she was 2 the lowest branch that I could attach her baby swing to was 20ft off the ground. She was really frustrated that I couldn't swing her harder, even putting my full weight into it. I'm 6'3" and have pictures of her swinging at least 6ft over my head. She is definitely my dare devil. I need to do a better job on #44 though. |
