Where do I start? Because she knows so much. She's growing up too fast. I could sit here and list all the things she knows like I've done before. How she tells stories and jokes and makes up songs and dances. And how she's at day camp this summer and everyday she comes home with a new chant. A new dance. A new story. A new friend. I could talk about the art she makes and the letters she writes and the books from the library we read. I could tell you how she now loves the water and will swim by herself (with her life jacket on, I know it's not like she's really swimming, but when you watch your little girl all by herself in the pool, you can't help but think that time is slipping away).....And time is slipping away. That's life. So enjoy it. Before it's all gone. And now I think about writing this blog as the girls get older. And what these girls will know then. Because it already feels like 1 of them knows too much. And I can't stop her from growing up. And before I know it, she'll be interested in boys and she'll be going to high school and looking at colleges and eventually leaving us. But for now, she's still my little girl. Who wakes up way too early. Maybe that's something I could look forward to. Sleep. And retirement.

Stumbled across this at the bottom of a CNN article. Glad I clicked on it. Nice read. Made my day! I have 3 teenage girls. Enjoy each and everyday with her. Children are precious and deserve to be cherished.

thanks @olamide dz
My baby is 17 months and is doing big things. Everyday is a milestone and a wonder. For these angels, we must be willing to lay down our lives for their continued existance.
17 months…..nice dude…..wait till these angels turn into teenagers and i'm sure we'll be talking about a whole different ballgame. dz
My little girl is going to be 29 on Valentines Day this year. Just married in October and getting her Masters degree in May. Have years of memories being amazed and proud of that little girl and look forward with confidence to the future and the amazing things this woman has yet to accomplish. Enjoy every day with your little ones!
Oh....one more thing....she will ALWAYS be my little girl...
thanks pete, wow, your little girl is all grown up…..my eldest daughter will turn 5 next month…..wow. dz
My daughter turns 36 next month and I still feel the same. She has always been special in my eyes and continues to amaze me with her knowledge and thirst for learning. Such a joy!
Continue the journey my friend!

nice stephanie, glad your enjoying "the ride"….good to hear you're embracing it…..cheers, dz
time is nearing and the end of world is very near. wherein this generation will witness more disasters than ever before. i think this is the fact that even the kids are aware of supernaturally. so i think they are been prepared for all these things which are going to come. so parents anticipate and prepare us and our children for the escaping the the things to come.
My girls are teenagers and they are growing up so fast. It seems like only yesterday that they were taking their first steps and now those steps are getting them closer to adulthood. Thanks for your blog, it makes me realize just how important each day is with my girls... :)
thanks michelle for your comment, thanks for making me realize to appreciate what I have and why I write this blog here in the first place:)
Hello everyone,

so beautiful :-)
I grew up in a poor neighbourhood, my father was out of work much of the time, he was also not much of a father, I do not blame him because he was only this way out of ignorance. I have been reasonably lucky in my adult life, I have worked very hard and we as a family had more than a lot of people but my one regret is the time I lost seeing my children learn, and grow because of work commitments, I would love to go back and do it all again but have more time, it is the best of times to see a young mind working and learning, I always envy parents with young children, although I have to say parenthood is also very daunting as you do not see the results for 20 or so years, but I did ok (I think/ hope)
@Stephen thanks for your comments…..very revealing and real which is hard to find these days…..by the way you write i'm sure you are a great father…..thanks, dz
Ain't married yet, But after looking at this i'm longing to become a Dad of a princess some day.
thanks for the comment sam….
My two girls, Nikita and Natasja, are 22 and 19 now, but will always be Daddy's little girlies. I miss the time when they were younger, but at the same time I treasure the adult conversations we hold today. Each age has its own beauty. The most important thing is to allow them to be their own individuals, in their own rights, at whatever age they are, and for us to always have their backs.
Very touching indeed! I can see that you aren't afraid as a parent to very boldly picture the future without your little angel! Yet...you are strong and sure that your leadership qualities embedded in her will never be erased from her for as long as she lives!
this are the qualities of life people like myself missed whilst growing up! I'm thankful to you for such commitment and passion with never ending love for your little Princess. God bless you Sir and God Bless you Angel!
thanks anne and joe, your words of encouragement give me reason to write this blog…to keep trying to be a better dad and husband and person in this world…thanks for the inspiration…dz
My name is Rebecca Miller I'm from united state, i have been married for 4 years and i have a break up with my husband 3 months ago and i was worried and so confuse because i love him so much. i was really going too depressed and a friend directed me to this spell caster Dr. Laco and i made all my problems known to him and he told me not to worry that he was going to make my husband to come back to me and in just 48hours i receive a call from my husband and he was appealing that i should come back to the house. i have never in my life believe in spell and but now it have just helped me and i am now so happy. All Thanks to him and if you also want to have your Husband back to yourself here !! his emailAddress(lacopowerfulspellcaster@yahoo.com) i am so happy to testify of your work and kindness (lacopowerfulspellcaster@yahoo.com)
This is Computer age, and children are very sharp now. They born with smartphones. My daughter is only 1 year old exactly, and she wants my phone, nothing else. You don't have to teach them any thing, they listen and learn them selves.
Nowadays children are really smart as you can watch on Tv ..the way they dance and sing.Its wow you say!
and you feel so very proud when your children are performing so well beyond your or anybody's imagination!
Ofcourse when they are born so very smart and with encouragement from parents..they become great!
So do my little Angel ! Every day I have one or the other surprise form me when I land to home from office, and I love it ! It's actually feel like time is slipping away !!!
My daughter not only growing fast she is definitely surprising me with her wits. She started demands phone, Lapt(She even can't pronounce Laptop!), watch and ipad. She can operate my mobile phone very well while I feel that her finger is lesser than the icons/thumnails!
Some time I just feel the time should stop now!!!
agreed samir! dz
