Are you looking for more insight than flowery words like ‘it takes a village” when it comes to raising your children well? We all know just how hard parenting is, especially in our culture today. So how do we make sure that our children will thrive?
The answer probably has to do with a bunch of smaller things than we normally assume. It seems to be about building a lifetime of strong core memories with your kids, just like this one father did.
Mason Smith shared a video that has taken the world by storm. His wife and older daughter were out making memories by getting pampered, so he decided to give his two-year-old daughter her spa day while they were gone.
People just can’t get enough of this dad as you can see in the video below.
“Mom and sister went to the salon so I couldn’t have her feeling left out,” Smith wrote.
The video shows Smith putting his daughter’s hair up and gently rubbing a homemade avocado mask on her face. Then he uses some cucumber slices on his girl’s eyes and follows that with some moisturizer that he rubs gently on her face and neck. The dad massages her temples and tickles her ears. She loves the attention.
Next comes the hairstyling, with spritzes and pigtails, followed by a nice little mani-pedi.
It’s so fulfilling to watch this little girl receive such tender love.
People in the comments couldn’t say enough about what a simple-yet-special day Smith created for his little girl.
“Every girl deserves a daddy like this, ????❤️” wrote one person.
“I really miss my dad, he was a great friend and same like this, even when I was 18, he use to help me straighten my hair, but he’s no more, passed away on Feb 10th.. missing you dadaaaa,” wrote another.
One commenter said it made them “cry in an incredibly cathartic way” and thanked him for being “this kind of dad” and “sharing it with pride.”
“She will never forget her daddy,” shared another. “This is fantabulous. She loves what he is doing and she admires and loves him for taking the time to make her feel special like mommy. God Bless.”
“This healed a part of me. Thank you for doing this with your daughter,” wrote another.
