Daddy's girl

Most little girls look up to their Dad's, I know I still do. Well Darian has always had a special bond with Rorie that goes beyond words. When you ask her "Who's the best?" She replies "DADDY". Nice. This is not something that she has been trained to say, this has simply been her opinion for the last 3 years. I think that being a teacher has paid off for my husband, as he gets so much time off that allows him to spend quality time with the girls. When Rorie is at home, Darian is glued to him, and he is pretty much on a one meter leash. It is great for me, because I have a lot of freedom.
Darian cries every Monday because Daddy has to goto work. She asks for him countless times each day. I never really took offense to any of this, until recently..... The other night Darian woke up in the night for the first time in over 2 years. She was crying and so I went into her room to console her, and the first thing she said was " Where's Daddy?" I told her that Daddy was in bed, and she cried "I want Daddy". So I had to call him and he came to her rescue. My heart really broke, as usually when a child is hurt, sick, tired or sad, they want Mom, but not mine. She is so affectionate with him, and I can't remember the last time she gave me a cuddle.

I guess in her eyes, Daddy is the best.










Not to be outdone, Riley has always been Daddy's girl as well. Ever since she came home from the hospital, he has bathed her every night and put her to sleep, except for weekends.
Yesterday Rorie took Riley out for the day, and this allowed for some serious bonding. It is so nice when you have one on one with a child. This morning Riley woke up and called "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-dy", and this evening she wanted him as well. What am I to do!? Besides be grateful for marrying the best husband and Daddy in the world!
