What's so funny to me is how much Charlie loves being with her Daddy when she has no choice. In other words, if Mommy is around, there's no better lap to sit in. No better shoulder to lie her head. Definitely no better voice to read her a good book.
Now I'm not saying that she ignores me when our family is all together. I'm just saying I had better have some cookies in my hand to attract her! :-)
Seriously though. I'm am so thankful for the opportunity Beck and I have to share in the care of Charlie. I really can't imagine not having my special days with her.
Today, after her morning nap, we went to Gymboree for "open play" and Charlie ran around amongst all the other kids with a huge smile. I felt so good every few minutes when she would noticeably glance around the room to make sure I was nearby. It's still funny how all the Moms in the class react to a Dad... especially one with a daughter.
Afterward, we went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Charlie was a perfect little angel. She ate 4 or 5 nuggets, and half a fruit cup. Two Moms sitting near us were talking quietly about Charlie until they caught my attention and told me how impressive it was that she was so well behaved while she eats. I said, "her Mommy has taught her very well." They blushed. So funny.
Did I have a point? I don't know. I'm just really proud of my daughter. She is an incredibly good little girl... even on bad days.
She's napping as I write this. I can't wait for her to wake up. She is now giving kisses when you get her from her crib. It's the sweetest thing ever.
