When I asked people to post photos of dads with their daughters on my the Mommy Shorts Facebook page, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Lots of dads dressing up like princesses having tea parties? Lots of girls donning jerseys from their dads’ favorite football teams?

The reality is, my girls do both and my husband is happy to participate in whatever makes them happy in the moment.
