Tonight, D has gone out to do her first baby-sitting job. Awwwww………. she’s growing up is my little girl. It’s things like this that make me realise that her world is broadening, that she is becoming more confident, more self-reliant – all those little steps that are slowly but surely preparing her for the day she leaves home and ventures out to wherever she chooses.
It’s just strange because there’s my little girl who is looking after someone else’s little kids (she’s been telling me off recently because she tells me I’m giving her “Daddy looks” – those looks where I’m amazed, proud, fiercely protective and a mix of many other good emotions that I couldn’t define if I had all day) and this is one of those days that I guess all girls get to – earning their first cash. I suppose the next stage is when she says yes to babysitting but then arranges for a boyfriend to call round too …… Hmm….. I’ll see about that one…
Another parental milestone
I can just imagine he look on the first bloke she brings homes’ face when you open the door! :p
Heh, Markie, do like my dad does still to this day. Show him your gun collection 🙂
I doubt you’re going to need a gun collection. Just show him your piercings and say ‘Do you have any problem, punk?’
That should send him running over the hills. 🙂
