Dr T Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Today I bought my Cakes (daughter) her first single stem rose. It was fun to give it to her and watching her was enjoyable for me. Just thought I'd share that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr T Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I picked a pink rose because she loves pink and I think that rose was beautiful like her :) I hope this rose is the first of many flowers she gets in her life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxz72 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I hope so, too. Getting flowers is always a fun surprise :) You're a good Daddy, Dr T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenRaines Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Dr. T, as a father of four girls I can relate. It is not only mom who should get flowers. Daughters love them too. While my wife is my forever sweetheart I bought flowers for the girls for birthdays, Valentines and many other occasions. I sent flowers to my daughter in law on her first birthday with the family.

Honor Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Very cute T! It almost makes me wish I had a daughter..... wait I'm fine with my kiddo, but a very sweet Dad moment! Thanks for sharing it with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynancy Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Awww! What a great Daddy. :) I bet she felt SO special! And good on you for knowing her favorite color. Take her on a date. My daughter and husband go on what she calls "D Dad Daughter Dates" from time to time. He opens doors for her and whatnot...it's fun, and has the handy side effect of making any future lame dates really stand out for what they are.

Palerider Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 when my daughters were younger I use to buy all 3 of them a long stem Rose in a vase for Valentines Day.....they always enjoyed that and would carry it around in the house everywhere they went...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Yes Pale! The look on her face and wanting to take it everwhere with her was just precious :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SisterofJared Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Way cool, Dr. T! How old is your Cakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrygirl66 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 My two daughters came when one was 4 and one was 5. Their first valentines day here my h brought me a dozen red roses in a vase and them each a single pink rose in a vase. Nothing for the boys. It was the first time they both said outloud that maybe dad likes us girls. It is now something they look forward to every year. I love dads that make their girls feel like they have value. It seems to be more and more rare. What a wonderful gift you gave to your daughter.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightynancy Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Precious! I had to re-read this thread...it makes me smile! :) Seriously, years ago I read a study that showed that an appropriately affectionate relationship with Dad, from the ages from 4 through 7, is nearly an immunization against promiscuity later on. The other half of the equation is sports! Woot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Right on Mighty One :) I figure "If I don't pay attention to and listen to my daughter by showing her appropriate love and affection, she will look for someone else will fill that gap in her life!" So I try and do it now while she's young so when she gets to be a teenager she'll know she is loved and respected and will not look for that in yucky boys :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 What a great thing to do! My dad always gave his single daughters chocolates for Valentine's Day. (yes, I still get them, EVERY year!) It was something that was special just for us as the boys did not get them. Your daughter might forget about this rose, but you will never forget how it felt watching her with it! Don't forget to take pictures....

Truegrits Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Dr. T, what a wonderful way to show her she is special to you, and loved. Set the standard high, and she will know what to look for. Little girls love their Daddy! I am, and have always been, a Daddy's Girl! Mama was given a large Valentine candy box...but Daddy never forgot his two little girls; we were given the small boxes of candy. It made us feel sooo special! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
