Today is Tempel’s tenth birthday. T-E-N.
10.
Ten is a big deal. Ten is double digits. And the annoying world of tween. And the funny word of figuring out sarcasm and rolling eyes and newly developed dry humor.
Ten is good.
Scott decided he wanted to do something special with Tempel to mark the occasion so he gave her the gift of experience. We surprised Tempel with a trip to New York. Just her and daddy.
It’s a big world out there and there are an infinite number of things to see and do and some of these things Scott wants to show the girls first.
Before she could go to New York with some loser boyfriend in college. Or head up for the weekend with a girlfriend. Or her grandmother for a shopping spree. Scott wanted to be the one to give her this peek at the world. So off they went.
They saw Wicked and the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty and Times Square and and and. But most of all she got to spend time with her dad and cement in her little brain the memory of being special and being important and being cared for and loved.
Oh, and the most life changing part of the trip – visiting Nirvana. I mean Nintendo World.
Gettin' a little choked up at how sweet it is that Scott did that for her. I remember being so excited for TEN – double digits is big.
Big birthday hugs and kisses to her!
What a special trip she will always remember! So cool!
Your husband rocks.
What a wonderful idea. Happy Birthday.
i bet she had a freakin' blast! i think it's awesome that she just went with dad instead of some loser boyfriend later on down the road. good for her.
She's gonna make it, after all! Is that how the "Mary Tyler Moore Show" song went? Whatevs. You know what I mean.
How sweet is that! I wish my daddy had done something like that for me. What an amazing memory. Good for Scott.
What an excellent idea. Scott is pretty… wait… did you say Nintendo World?
What a great way to ring in 1-0! Such a special memory, I just don't think I could have stayed home and missed the excitement.
That is such a lovely gift! How incredible that she spend it with her Dad. YOu guys are great!
She will never forget this! EVER!
Thanks for making me look like the worst mom in the world. My kids never got a trip to New York for their bday. Wait??!! There's an award for being the worst mom???! Oooohhhh…I'm so going for it!!!
What a great present to give your daughter! And watch out for those "loser boyfriends", they're lurking just around the corner. Hope she loved it!

That's really sweet. She'll remember that trip for the rest of her life. It's always a good idea to make memories before the loser boyfriends step in.
I love this; good for your husband for doing it and good for you for giving him the space to do so! When Scout turned sixteen, Maxim took her out on a 'daddy date' so as to show her how she should expect to be treated as a young lady. A noticeable shift in their relationship occurred just after that….she approaches him first for the 'important' stuff now.
We are surprising the kids on Christmas Eve with luggage that is tagged with "Pack me. You leave for NYC in the morning!" I. Can hardly. Containmyself. I'm the only one in the fam that's ever been; I can't wait to see their reactions to the energy and texture of the place.
Please do not let it slip to my people that there is a Nintendo World or I'ma hafta let slip the dogs of war on your ass.
that just kind of made me cry
Sweet. I took my boy in to town with me today for kind of the same reason. Although, the Adelaide city center isn't quite as exciting as Manhattan. But then, he's only two.
The tenth birthday is a landmark…Arianna's was the 28th of July…ever precious girl to us, it's put one foot in adulthood and left one foot as the baby…
