Having a daughter...

Lets start this by being completely honest and blunt. I never really wanted a daughter. (Gasp! Before you go calling me names, hear me out.) I never saw myself with anything but boys. I like sports. I like getting dirty and sweaty. I like wrestling in the floor. And, in my mind, you just couldn't do those things with a girl.

Now that I have my sweet girl, I am completely smitten. I love her. I love shopping for her. I love holding her more gently than a boy. I love talking to her in a girly high pitched voice. And I love knowing that I can raise her to like sports and getting dirty. After all... I'm a girl. And I like those things.

Makes sense...
