Dan,
Gorgeous and funny story (to which I can easily relate). You have one stunning daughter there and speaking from personal experience, there is nothing to compare to the special bond between father and daughter. It's a love so fierce; full of protection (both ways). I wouldn't trade a minute of time I spent with my Dad - it was all so special
.
As to my Charlotte - well, yes, attitude...she has plenty of that already but I tend to allow her some as she has an older and a younger brother who tend to gang up on her a little (well a lot really). She needs to "give some back" from time to time. Mind you, these same boys (especially the older one) would be the first to stand up for her when necessary - it's just the sibling way
