Spilled and dried roofing tar on the sidewalk outside our playground.
Unprompted, Boo shouts, “Look, two deer!”
It takes me a while to catch on, but eventually I see them. “Nice observation, Boo!” I encourage, pridefully.
“Daddy! I’m not Boo!” she protests.

Those shoes ROCK.

Can I borrow those shoes Dorthy? What a nice comp on your pic. She’s way too cute!!!
Cute story. Quick question; I have a daughter coming in March and really have no idea how to entertain a little girl. You seem to do a great job at it.
Are tea parties and her dressing up like Dorthy something you just learn to pick up? Was there a learning curve you had with being a dad to a little girl?
