Daddy's little girls
I joked around with my husband the other day and told him that I am going to have to write a "how to raise girls" manual for him..
It takes a special man to be a daddy to girls, it really does, especially when there is more than one girl in the family. A dads role in a daughters life is SO important (which is why we need mommy's AND daddy's). The way girls are treated by their dad can determine a lot in their lives, believe me.
Adam is an amazing dad and I can see how God has and is working in him to become the father to our princesses that HE has created Adam to be. I tell him that he is in for a wild ride, this is coming from the oldest of 4 girls. I do my best to give him a heads up on what girls may expect from daddy, and that a fathers words can make or break a daughter, to speak kind words to them often; telling them how proud he is and how beautiful they look. Adam is the ultimate example for my girls.
Now as for myself, I am a little nervous to raise girls. Coming from a house full of girls, I know how we can get, especially at 13,14,& 15. When I found out our 1st was a girl, all I could think about was "oh crap, I'm going to get taste of my own medicine." Then when we found out our 2nd was a girl too, I thought "well, buckle up!" lol
We can try and read every book and article on how to raise girls, but Adam and I will not be able to do it without praying that God would give us wisdom and leaving them in His hands.

So true, Natasha. Little AND big girls both need their Daddy. No one can take his place.
