Daddy feels jealous at our mother-daughter relationship sometimes - because I seems to argue with Kaitlyn more often (mostly on small things), and she is little more afraid of me than him (especially when I start counting 1,2,3...), but we still bond closely like best friends, laugh hard, play crazy, and talks fast, that's mommy and daughter, hahaa...
Like yesterday, daddy and me ate lunch first while Kaitlyn finished up something, I saved a piece of chicken and pasta for her (as always:-). Daddy commented that mommies always think about their kids first and save the best for them. I smiled didn't say a word. Later, when we ate fruits together, daddy picked out a nice looking cherry for Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn said "for mommy!" and stuck it into my mouse. Daddy said "seems like you two had agreement to do this to each other!" We both laughed, yeah, of course, that's my sweet girl!
Daddy is her shelter when mommy doesn't let her do things her way. Daddy finds a comprised way and wipes out her tears. He knows that make me feel guilty as well - how could you be so cruel to a sweet little girl like her :-) When daddy gets mad, she finds her way out of it, she climbs onto him, rubs his face, picks his nose, tickles him, tucks into his arms, then all problems go away just like that. If he is really mad, she will find a place hide for a while then comes back playing the same tricks again, or will play victim like having stomache, haha...
One thing really strange though, it always takes longer when I take her to bed, and I fell asleep the same time or even faster, because by the time she sleeps, I'm too tired already. But she goes to sleep much easier (most of the time...) when it's daddy's turn. Maybe because of all the routines I did for her ahead of time, so feels longer, plus read books and talk...?? I remember I always had to negotiate with Kaitlyn on how many books or pages to read before turning off lights. I have no idea what daddy does? I remember before Kaitlyn turned four, for many times, I was getting pissed off about putting her to sleep, after rounds of tug-of-war of sleep-not sleep, and ended up asking help from daddy. Then few minutes later, daddy walked out her room like a winner, uhh...
Either way, I do enjoy that time with her, the best moment everyday to be so in touch with her. We both work, so we really only have a few hours to be around her each day. After several years, she will not want us in her room or in her bed at all, haha, time flies by fast!
