pl ay a day in the life of dad she's still a
little
girl
by brandon foreman s he walks around holding a phone in the air talking to it, helps teach a dance class, dances three additional days a week then dances at football games, works company events, goes to parties every now and then, goes to the mall and works with the boys, and who knows what else. sound familiar to anyone else? a buddy of mine thought so. he said, ?my wife is probably just as busy.? but the funny thing is, i?m not talking about my wife. i?m talking about my
little
girl
who is not even a teenager yet. i talked with her the other night and was teasing her about how she forgets
stuff
, and i always have to remind her to get her
stuff
or pick something up that she left behind. it was a funny conversation, but then all of a sudden, things got a
little
serious when she started to tear up a
little
bit and talk about how she is worried that she's always going to be forgetting something because she always has so many things that she needs to be doing. between our family, her dance, and school and friends, a lot of people are asking for her time already. looking back on it now, i think maybe what i need to do is remember that she is still my
little
girl
and not another parent in this family. she is my oldest and i rely on her a lot, and i appreciate everything that she does, but parents, i think we need to keep reminding ourselves that they will only be
little
for a short while, and we need to do more
little
girl
stuff
with them, and stop pushing them to grow up so fast. try this, dad. would you really ask my 11 year old to do that for you? if not, why ask your 11 year old? ? tony b. and his sons, fischer & ben, know all about dressing in style. pic of the month from the mouths of dads stay connected gear up ?? good parenting means investing in your child?s future, which is why i am saving to buy mine a hoverboard someday.? ?lin manuel miranda if you would like to read more of brandon?s adventures from a day in the life of dad, visit us online at brparents.com. enjoy your sound in motion with tivoli?s andiamo . this durable and portable speaker features aluminum housing, protecting the speaker?s internal components from the elements. it even has a leather handle, making it easier than ever to transport your tunes around the house. ? tivoliaudio.com 5 4 b r p a r e n t s . c o m | s e p t e m b e r 2 0 1 9
