Little Mama's Daddy Date

Yesterday was Little Mama's turn to go with daddy on a lunch date. So she got to ride to church in the truck which is a very big deal in our family. It seems that going places in the Ford F-150 4 x4 is a lot more fun than riding in the van. Go figure. (Actually Daddy's lifted up Toyota 4x4 was one of the reasons why I liked him ;) Anyway, right after church she and daddy went to Steak N Shake. She was so excited all weekend. She kept talking about when they were going and where they were going. I suppose in a way just confirming that it was really going to happen. Out of all the kids, at this stage, she is the one that really enjoys alone time with her parents. She loves the one on one, the attention, not having to compete for time. She wore a pretty dress and a smile! After church she and daddy road off to the restaurant and they even did a little shopping. She got to show daddy all of the wonderful girl baby clothes that we had seen the week before. Daddy said they had a wonderful time and Little Mama was able to have all of his attention for all that she had to share. She even brought a milk shake home for Nature Girl. Little Mama truly is a sweet and thoughtful child . . .

Hmmm, do you think it's the age? or just the way she is? or her birth order?
My second born is also so sweet and considerate of his siblings and enjoys spending time with mom or dad, he's 6 1/2.

What a great way for a girl to spend some time with Daddy.

I think it is a combination of a couple of things. I was not a big believer in middle child sydrome but I believe in it a little bit now ;)
