Daddy’s little girl..

Something is happening between the dynamic of our family.
Daddy.
Suddenly, it’s all about “fun-Daddy.”
I guess it’s the natural progression in the life of a little girl. It also makes Hubby very happy.
Don’t get me wrong, she’s still my little buddy and I’m still the go-to parent for many, many things..
But when it comes to being silly and fun.. it’s all about Daddy.
It’s actually very, very cute to see.
Last night, she kept copying what Daddy would say. They were teasing me and when I would try to join in by retailiating, M and Hubby kept say, “No, that’s OUR thing.”
Super cute.
The first man in a little girl’s life is her Daddy, and I’m so glad that she’s enjoying her time with hers..

“Make it better…”
Posted on: May 7, 2014
Over the weekend, M started asking me to sculpt various objects from pieces of Play-Doh that she would hand to me.
These objects range from spoons to dogs to little boys and little girls…
They were pretty bad, but I thought that M was ok with it. I mean, they LOOKED like what she wanted and she smiled like she knew they were what she wanted. I’d ask her if it was what she wanted and she’d say, “yes.”
So, I thought I was golden!
What do you see in this photo? I see a bed, a refrigerator, a chair, a hotdog, a plate, a house, and several spoons..
Last night, M was asking me to do make little sculptures again. So I would.
I’d hand her the finish product and she’d set it on her table. Seconds later, she’d come back and ask for the same object, but this time she’d add, “to make it better..”
Say what?!
She wants me to make it better?
She asked me to remake an ice cream cone “to make it better..” She asked me to remake a cupcake “to make it better..” And other things…
What a critic!

It’s playtime!

These past few days have been a real eye opener for me.
M is truly at that age where she and I can actually play!
Not that we weren’t playing before…
Most of it was me doing something to get a reaction from her.. it was more “one-sided” play.
There were occasions where we would play “tea party,” but it was still me pouring tea, drinking it.. and waiting for HER to do the same, or laugh, or something..
But it wasn’t truly interactive..
Now.. it is.. and it’s so much fun! What’s even better is that SHE will initiate it.. and SHE will do something to get a reaction from ME!
My baby’s growing up!
She loves to hide, so she will get on her little Hello Kitty sofa/bed and pull the couch part over her and be really quiet.. she’ll peek ever so slightly.. and then she’ll squeal at me to know she’s been there the whole time. While she’s hiding, I pretend that I lost her, and ask Hubby if he knows where she is..
Another game we play is that she pretends to be asleep. She’ll lay down on a pillow, and I will go over and pat her while singing a lullaby.. then she pops right up and I say, “Oh! You’re awake!” Then I do the same, but instead, she wakes me up and then says “Wake!”
We also love to play peek-a-boo with each other on her Hello Kitty sofa/bed. We set the sofa/bed up as a sofa, then we duck our heads behind the backrest and then simultaneously lift our heads up and say “bah!” to each other.. it’s the cutest thing watching her peek at me to see when to pop her head up..
The way she laughs when we play together is so infectious. It makes all the hardwork and tiredness of the workday just melt away with each giggle..
I love this age. She’s so much fun!
What kind of games do you play with your little one?
