Daddy Date

Sami wants to marry her Daddy.  It’s the sweetest thing.  “He’s just the best Daddy in the whole world” she tells me.  It’s cute to see her discover that love = marriage.  but in this marriage, Daddy’s still Daddy, and she’s not becoming his wife, so I think we’re all good : – )  Tonight she wore her “wedding dress” (the dress she wore in Auntie Erin & Uncle Casey’s wedding) on her date, and Daddy dressed up, too!  They went to Scott’s Dairy Freeze for a grilled cheese and ice cream.  When Fred was off playing hockey and I was putting her to bed, she told me “Daddy and I got married.  We even danced.  But don’t ask him about that part.  The dancing I mean.”  Sami is very competitive.  I mean she has a tizzy if you get to the bottom of the stairs before she does.  And I’m getting hints that there’s a little part of her that thinks the fact that I’m married to Daddy and not her is somehow something she needs to compete for – a loss she somehow needs to recover.  It will be fun to show her these pictures of her wedding dress later in life, and ask her if she’ll be adding a pink Hello Kitty sweatshirt and brown patent boots to her wedding ensemble :- )
