Who knows? But I'm thinking it had something to do with the excitement she was feeling as she and Jet put their shoes on in preparation to go for McDonald's Ice cream. She was excited about having unexpected "Special Daddy Time" and was just looking for another way to connect with him.
"Hey! We both have feet. Let's compare them. Whatdaya say?"
You see, having been in bed for at least an hour, she came downstairs at 8:15 distressed that she wasn't tired. and my guess, a little nervous that she was going to get in trouble for being out of bed.
But instead of getting frustrated, I pulled her close and whispered in Jet's ear, asking if he'd take her for a special treat. And like any good Daddy, he was all over it. As was she!!
Take note of how *bright* it still is at 8:15 PM!!
She was one happy girl! And we are striving to be parents who make this home a place where unexpected surprises and one-on-one outings with parents are the norm.
A place where they love hanging out. A place where memories like this come easily years from now. A place where they know the unconditional love of a daddy, even when they're supposed to be asleep, but are just having trouble getting it done.
