When your daughter asks to go on a date with just her and no brothers, you make it happen. Lucky for us, we live within walking distance of one of Springfield's finest donut establishments.
I did warn her I was bringing my camera because it's seen a lot of tutorial time and not a lot of memory making time.
We wandered to the donut place where we thoroughly enjoyed our sugar intake and then wandered around downtown a bit. I found myself wanting to keep things moving along and hurrying to the next thing and realized I've been needing to slow down and just enjoy the moment a little more. Kids are good at that.
Here's to more daughter dates, saying yes when you'd rather say no, stopping to pause no matter what else needs your attention, and making memories with people we love.
