It’s a wonderful thing watching my husband and daughter together, while I do think that Livi is officially a Mama’s girl, she has a special place in her heart for her Papa. They have a special bond. At times I don’t think its easy on him when she just wants me. I think at times he feels like the odd man out in a house of estrogen, even the cat is a moody female. He has been great, sitting back and waiting for his turn. Allowing her to bond with me first.He is so patient with her and allows her to come around on her terms. Seeing their relationship develop has been a joy.Watching him melt with the wink of her eye and seeing her wrapped around his little finger is something else. It’s no secret that my husband the sports fanatic would have loved to have a son but there is no doubt he loves his girl and would not have things any other way.

I sometimes sit back and just watch them interact. He beams with pride at how good of a throwing arm she has. he brags about her signing abilities. He was the one who taught her to do a somersault and say “ Ahhhh” after taking a drink. he taught her to say " Oh Man" when she is frustrated or her legos fall apart. He plays bad 80's music for her and encourages her to dance. She loves to share chips with papa and prefers to have him read goodnight gorilla to her. My husband has a great sense of humor and Livi has this in common with him. She may have my tendencies and mannerisms but her humor is all Papa’s influence. Happy Love Thursday Everyone, I would love to hear about your Daddy's little girl.
