Let's be thankful that the hubbs and I are not in a custody battle for Claire which would be decided by us standing on opposite sides of the room, placing her in between us and calling for her to come to see who should have her a la Henry and Ribsy (all you people between the ages of 30 and 40 don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about). I would lose. She would walk right over to her dad and sit down in his lap.
On Saturday night Claire woke up crying at 3:30 am. Usually this is just because she has lost her pass or she is startled but after one experience where it was actually a poopy diaper and we left her crying until morning (with a serious diaper rash consequence) we always go in and check on her. I slowly opened the door to her room and right when she saw me she yelled, "No. Daddy."
I turned around and called out, "Honey, Claire is calling." The hubbs then got up and comforted her and put her back down and I went right back to sleep. Should I be offended that my staying home with her has caused her to believe that her dad is the superior parent or should I just be thankful that I don't even remember the hubbs coming back to bed because I was already fast asleep?
Ha ha, I think you've got it made. You should train her to not even cry at night, just call out "daddy" from the get go. But still say mommy during the day. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Enjoy it...because if you get a boy next there is a really good chance that he will always prefer you and that is harder than anything! (especially being a stay at home Mom who just wants five minutes to herself!)
ReplyDeleteI think that is a good sign when a daughter loves her daddy sooooo much :)
AWESOME. That's all I have to say. Now if only they could say that as newborns in the middle of the night.
