I know this probably won't last forever but holy crap I'm riding this high all day. She's 8 and usually prefers mom for everything. I let her have ice cream for lunch and apparently that's all it takes lol. Taking the win.
This is awesome man! Soak it in because you earned it. Mom's got nothing on ice cream and whatever else you did.
Dude, enjoy it! I've got three and those moments are gold. Ice cream was the right move, that's dad wisdom right there.
That's awesome. At 8 years old that means a lot. My daughter said that to me once and I honestly got emotional about it. The phase will change but the memory won't.
Enjoy it while it lasts because dude, this phase is golden. My daughter's 10 now and somehow I'm already the backup parent. Soak this in.
Hold onto this memory. The teen years hit different and reminders like this one keep you going when you're the uncool parent.
That's the good stuff right there. Ride that wave as long as you can. Pretty soon they think their friends are cooler than you but that's okay because you had this day.
Ride it till the wheels fall off brother. These moments are the good stuff. Just wait until she's a teenager and barely acknowledges you exist, so treasure this.

Enjoy every second of this. Father-daughter stuff is special and she clearly knows it. You're doing something right.
