rules

pray

she will fight

course you look silly playing peek-a-boo. you should play anyway

enjoy the wonder of bath time

there will come a day when she asks

it's never too early to start teaching her money. she will still probably suck you as a teenager… and on her wedding day

make pancakes in the shape of her age

dance

learn to say no. she may pitch a fit today

“beauty” magazine will try to convince her otherwise

let her hold the wheel. she will always remember when daddy let her drive

she's as smart as any boy. make sure she knows that

if there's 1 tablespoon park near your home

she will eagerly await your return home from work in the evenings. don't be late

if her mom enrolls her in swim lessons

take her swimsuit shopping. don't be afraid to veto some of her choices

somewhere between the time she turns three and her sixth birthday

she'll probably want to crawl in bed

introduce her to the swings at your local park. she'll squeal

when she's a bit older

take it easy on the presents

let her know she can always come home. no matter what

remember

when you think she needs them most

learn to trust her. gradually give her more freedom as she gets older. she will rise to the expectations you set

when in doubt

when your teenage daughter is upset

today she's walking down the driveway to get on the school bus. tomorrow she's going off to college. don't blink
