Our first ever Daddy Daughter Date

[@chelledegrasse2787]

You're a good dad. Watching her go from her normal sort of wound up vibe to a more relaxed one was great. She needed you.

[@frog3508]

Sunny's hair turned blonde, such a big change from all the dark hair when she was born, lol. She is such a cutie, Jack and Sunny both are adorable. Sarah, keep that red hair, it looks so natural on you and really brings out your eyes and skin tone. I went from an auburn to red and kept is red for many years until it got to much to cover the gray. Well know I am mostly snow white and I love it.

[@HelenShaw-qo2fn]

Just what I was going to say! Her blonde hair and it’s getting longer too! Derik is a good dad. He has a gentle voice and shows a lot of respect for his family. Because his knees are healed now he can properly play with his kids. Good job mom and dad ❤

[@cherylbrunette2490]

She looks good with Blonde hair too, maybe she could tone down the blonde shade. She did say the reason she wants to go back to blonde is because the red is too high maintenance to keep up and the color fades quick. I have never colored my hair, I am a natural blonde.

[@vickyesqueda8176]

I love Sunnys blonde hair and her answer “yah” to everything💜 Derik you’re such a great dad👏

[@robertpalatsky5017]

My cousin's son used to say "oookaay" to everything in a very cute way

[@theresabeck1029]

Girls that have their father's in their lives have no idea how lucky they are. I was raised by ny stepfather, met my biological father when I was 16. My relationship with both of them was ok but not great. I am 56 now and they both have been gone for years now. Whenever I see a dad make an effort to be in his daughters life, I fill up with tears of joy for her. Well done Derek, please do everything you can with her. She will remember ❤

[@dianah.9718]

She'll remember all right. The internet is forever. I fear for the day she ( and her friends) see these videos. She is just an after thought in these parent's lives. No clothes, no attention. Lives in the friggin basement🤦

[@lindaphillips5768]

My dad was in my life for my whole life, and I was the luckiest person in the world. I’m 66 now and l lost my dad on my bday in 2017, I took care of him after my mom passed in 2014, no where else on earth would I have rather been than taking care of him!!! He always took time to teach me stuff ( I was a tomboy) we used to joke I was the son he never had! 😂 My 3 sons were lucky to have had him as their role model!! I miss him terribly 😢, but he’s back with his pretty girl (mom) they were married 67 years when she died. I miss them both so very much, I was truly lucky and I knew it from the time I was young!!!❤

[@decker8202]

I completely relate to what you've said. My son is an amazing father and it's so good to see that side of him.

Awww, Daddy, don’t worry yourself about Sunny… you are such a totally cool Dad and of course Sunny will be fickle for awhile!! You are an awesome dude and a great leader.. your kids will love you forever!! What a precious kind father you are❣️.. Dads love and strength to daughters is pure solid magic..

[@janetrathnau2645]

Wow!! I can't believe how light Sunnys hair is now. She's really looking sunny.

[@trixmania]

Yes.. my son hair looked black, then as he grew, it become a dark chocolate brown. U can see the difference between his hair and a black haired person. Just have him sit next to one. The idea that hair changes only from light to dark seems to be a myth....

[@trixmania]

@staceyerikson4982 it's very rare, genetics is an odd thing to mess with. But nothing is impossible. The dominant gene is dark, but unless there is a hidden gene tucked away. It would make sunny a very rare child. I never seen a child go from dark to light, it's normally light to dark.

[@MegAplin]

Who cares if Sunny's hair is blonde? Thank God she isn't bald from chemo. And, is happy and healthy. Let's be most thankful for that.

Sunny is definitely Derik’s mini me. 💗 I love that Derik makes sure to spend special time one on one with Jack and with Sunny. 💞 And pro tip for Sarah, yes, don’t go to the grocery store hungry! But if you do end up going when you are hungry, get a protein bar and eat it while you are shopping. Just hold onto the wrapper so that the cashier can ring it up for you along with your groceries. It will save you from buying items not on your list that you don’t need. 🥰

[@di1gibson]

This is something that you will always remember. You're a great Daddy and now that your knee is getting better you'll have so much more time to do things with Sunny. She will appreciate that when she's older and will be able to tell her children that she had the best Daddy in the world ❤

[@hersheyybar]

Both kids are so darn cute! Derik, don't worry about her not clinging to you yet. All babies/toddlers go through this stretch of time when they prefer mama over Dada. Sunny will come around, you just need to be patient.❤

She is cute however, they rarely have her dressed. She went outside in the rain and her feet got wet, then they leave her in those wet pajamas. I don’t get it. They know they are filming and they still don’t dress her. To me it’s strange. I bet Derek took off his wet socks.

Jacks throwing is superb 👏👏👏

[@deniseforsyth6183]

Derik, sweetie, let me tell you...when my granddaughter was born she wouldn't go to anybody, I mean anybody but her mom. My son was heartbroken. But by the time she was 2 she was asking for daddy, running to him when he got home from work. He has become her hero and she melts his heart. She is getting ready to turn 6 in a few days and now he is her protector, her jungle gym, playmate and definitely daddy cause when she misbehaves the serious daddy comes out, explaining, talking, telling her why what she did was wrong and we can't have that. He always lets her know he is there for her. Your time is coming shug....it really is. I can't wait, you are already great parents, both of you, but your time is coming with Sunny. 🌺😃👍💗💗💗💗

It just breaks my heart that Derek thinks he has to win Sunny over. She is just going through a phase right now. The time's going to come when she's going to be a Daddy's girl. I think some of the reason she's so attached to Sarah or wants Sarah so much is because Sarah is gone a lot and Derek is the one at home. It's great to have one-on-one time with each child but taking them out to buy them whatever they want so that they will like you and want to spend time with you is not the answer. Wishing Derek the best

I will be 68 this year and I love watching your little family. I have had bad knees for awhile. I did yoga and regained some mobility and being able to do stair that was about 13 years ago. Braces off and on. Then I went to shots about 4 years ago and I was in heaven. First day of shots so much pain but the next day no pain. I was 4-6 months between shots. I had shots in March which are still working on my left knee, but my right they only lasted maybe a week or two. So back to the dr, an MRI on Wed. Call from my dr on Thurs that told me I had 2 tears in my right miniscous, the one on the inner side is torn, twisted, and folded, the outer side one is small. Going on June 11th for keyhole surgery to repair the tears and remove any debris that might be there. Any tips or tricks for me so I am not such a burden on my daughter?

[@donnataylor980]

I hope your surgery will be a success❤ I will be praying for you❤ don't ever feel like you're a burden😢 I would give everything I own to be taken care of my mom or her living with me❤ she's been gone 24 years and I miss her every day❤ I hope you have a happy weekend❤❤
