N is a man who is laid-back. His personality just goes with the flow of my Type-A personality. He used to not be social or really like to leave the house. Then I started planning all these things for us to do and now he enjoys the busy.
A few weeks ago we got a newsletter in the mail from Zoe's school. In it was an invitation for all dads and daughters to a social on Friday the 13th. It was a princess themed party, so you could dress up as your favorite princess.
Because we are crafty people, my mom decided to make Zoe a princess dress. Zoe had her heart set on being Cinderella. Fortunately it's prom season, so all special fabric was 50% off. We worked on making a dress that matched Cinderella. By we, I mean my mom, I just cut out a couple pieces of the pattern.
Zoe was beside herself counting down the days to the ball. What's even more awesome, so was N. He asked Zoe what he should wear if he was to be her prince. She said, "your Easter shirt with all the designs, jeans, boots and a hat." Basically her prince is daddy and she'll take him just as he is. Those two melt my heart.
On the night of the big dance, Zoe got into her dress and daddy got into his princely attire and we headed outside for pictures.
To make the night more special, N gave Zoe a necklace. It was Cinderella's carriage with a blue sea stone inside to match her dress. The look on her face when daddy gave her the finishing touch to her outfit brought a tear to my eye. She couldn't stop hugging him and saying thank you. In that moment, Zoe transformed into a princess.
She was truly the belle of the ball that night. She made a crown, got her face painted and learned to waltz with daddy. They spent the entire evening dancing.
It's such a blessing to have the daddy that makes our girls feel like the princesses they are. He truly is our prince.
