I don’t know if this is your first girl, but I was my dad’s first baby girl (he met my mom and half-sister when half-sister was 2.) My Vietnam vet dad learned to braid hair, and have tea parties. And I’ve had a fine time teaching him. Congratulations! May your daugher grow healthy and happy, and may you apprechiate every second of it! ---
