Lyla has been such a mama's girl lately that I might as well be a jar of peas. I picked her up at daycare, and she gave me one of those head nods that you reserve for people you might have met once but you can't remember. We got home and she crumpled to the floor and sobbed when she realized Mama was gone.
So I carried her around the house and distracted her with various objects. When we got to a picture of me, she said "Dada!" and pointed to it.
"Yes, that's Dada." Then she got upset and asked about Mama again. I'm pretty sure she likes pictures of me better than the actual me. One day I imagine she'll change my name from Dada to Not-Mama.
"Look who's here, Lyla," they'll say at daycare. "It's Not-Mama."
"WAAAH!"
Oh, Dan, it's so obvious that Lyla is Daddy's little girl....! But, very cute blog today! I love the photo, too!
