When I read Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, the book made a point of how critical it was for fathers to make special time with their daughters.
To create memories for them.
To help them understand that women are to be valued.
I've taken that to heart.
A few weeks ago, I gave a presentation and one of the attendees was the Director of Marketing for the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders.
Afterwards, she invited me (and Tonka) to attend a special VIP practice session at FedEx Field in Landover, MD.
Now, there are plenty of things I'd rather be doing than stand in a dance studio for 90 minutes watching 40 scantily-clad, extremely fit women perform dance moves, but since I know that my 5 year old daughter really likes cheerleaders, I figured I would take a deep breath and just do what my paternal responsibility required.
It was difficult, I took a bunch of pictures and videos to prove it. Here's one of them.
This parenting thing is tough work ;-)
