Daddy's Girl!

Lily, for a very long time, was very much a Mama's girl.  Almost always choosing Mommy over Daddy for comfort, play or whatever else she needed.  Over the last couple of months she's made the change from a Mama's girl to a Daddy's girl.  She runs screaming and laughing to the door when she hears his keys every afternoon.  Every morning, she climbs into bed with me only to ask, "Where's Daddy?"  She uses whatever she can find to tie around her waist as a belt "just like Daddy", and steals his hats (off his head, or from where ever she can find them), plops them on her head and grins big, sometimes even proclaiming that she going to work--this is usually accompanied by the finding of one of Daddy's work hats!

This morning just proved my theory that my Lily is now more Daddy's Lily :) than mine.  I'm not upset or offended.  I think it's great!  I never had much of a relationship with my dad so it makes my heart all warm and fuzzy to see my little one getting her needs met by her daddy!  This morning Lily woke up to a bad dream (daddy was up getting ready for work so he "rescued" her), and also had had a pee pee accident (that was my fault...I let her have too much to drink at Grandma's birthday party), then after being comforted by Daddy and cleaned up by Mommy she went running into the kitchen--which was still dark--only to run full force into my wooden step stool which hadn't gotten put back last night and was sitting in the middle of the floor.  She was having a BAD morning!  After hugs and kisses from Daddy she crawled back into bed with me to get warmed up and while we were snuggling she turned over and said, "Mommy, I like you, but I still miss my daddy." 

Yep, I picked a good one!
