Being the proud mother that I am, I had to post a pic of my heart-shaped cake mentioned in my Valentine's post: 
The kids were amazed and delighted. I love how easy-to-please children can be! What took me very little time and effort was greeted with squeals of joy.
Tonight was the annual Girl Scouts' Father-Daughter Dance. This is Chloe's first year to attend, and she was so excited. I took her to the salon yesterday and had a few inches of her hair trimmed off in honor of the occasion. Normally, she wears her hair in a tight braid, but we blew it out and put a pretty bow in it for the dance: 
Here's a proud Ever-Supportive, about to escort his daughter to her first dance: 
Sigh! Now I completely get why my mother made such a to-do over these things.
This was especially poignant for me because, as I posted on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
sartorias 's blog tonight, my father was killed when I was only a few months older than my daughter is now. I never attended any father-daughter dances with him. When Chloe was born, and I mean during the actual HAPPENING of her birth, I reached up and grabbed my husband by the collar and yanked him down to me and said, "Don't you EVER leave her!" I pray he never does, because I know how much I've missed out on.
Here's to you, Daddy—and your fortunate granddaughter! And here's to all the Ever-Supportives out there escorting their baby-girls to the Father-Daughter Dances!
