Yesterday Mark's brother announced to us that the baby they are expecting to arrive early next year is a little girl. I felt happy for him and also a pang of envy because I can imagine the day where his little girl will be looking up at him adoringly and when he'll be all putty in her little hands. From the day I found out that Chloe is a girl, I already had ideas and visualized about how close she will be with Mark and how much he will adore his princess.
Now that Mark and I have a niece, it'd be fun to be able to buy stuff for her; stuff that I'd otherwise have gotten for Chloe. I think my little niece will be spoiled rotten because all the young kids at Mark's place are boys, and having a little girl will be nice for a change.
Somehow I've always had the idea that little girls and dads will always share a special bond, thus the term 'daddy's girl'. A colleague who has got 4 kids (lucky bloke!), 3 girls and a boy, shared this proverb with me which I find pretty true - "My son is my son till he gets a wife, But my daughter will be my daughter all her life."
