20 Minutes with Mickey D and Sophie

I had the delight to run out for a quick daddy-daughter desert time after dinner with Sophie the other day. I never knew how fast a 3 year-old could down a entire McDonald's Ice Cream Cone! While being amazed at her whoofing down soft serve, laughing and having fun, I was able to learn few things about my little princes. I learned about her:

Favorite friend: Chasey (Chason, her little bro)

Favorite Color: Blue

Favorite Movie: Monster Inc.

Favorite thing to do: Color and read books

Thing that makes her sad: Chasey when he cries

She loves her little bro!

More than these neat details of her life, I learned a few other things that evening about being a dad. I gained insight into the potential that just 20 minutes can have with my children. I see that taking advantage of a simple but unique setting can create magnificent memories in the mind's and heart's of my children. It is also amazing that a simple buck-25, and just 20 minutes can be a precious investment with a profound impact.
