Hostage Situation

I read a quote recently that seemed made for the relationship that Billy and Tizzy share. It said: The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. When his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, "Daddy, I need to ask you something," he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan.  ~Garrison Keillor
 

Not all the time, but a lot of the time, he's a sucker for her dimpled chubby-cheeked self. Recently she talked him into something by simply sticking out her cute little lip and pouting. At the same time, though, he is really good about standing his ground with her when he needs to. I'm sure that will come in handy when some hoodlum shows up trying to take her out in 20 year. Ahem.

He is even volunteering to learn how to do hair so that if mommy is ever away he can fix Tizzy's hair. (She has recently taken to not allowing us to leave the house without ponytails. And it must be two ponytails, not one. I tried to do a quick one ponytail and she pretty much said "I'm not going out of the house looking like this".)

I love watching him be such a good daddy to both our kids, in such different ways. He's good at knowing just what they need to feel important and loved. Whether that be a wrestling match or ponytails, he's your hostage, I mean man.
