So, I've been toying with a blog entry for a while now, about my parenting skillz... or lack thereof... and certain old, campy movies about Greek gods...
But that is not this post....
This is a far more different post... One that I should put in the annals, lest I forget... But I won't forget, for a long long time.
....
It all starts this lovely morning (which seems like such a long long time ago). I am trying to let the Pizzle sleep in, for fear of the terror that the shooter brings! But then, from my bathroom, I hear ... "Mommy, Daddy!" "Mommy, Daddy!" ... "Mommy, Daddy!" I realize that the shooter is now up!
Alas... there goes the neighborhood!
So I go in there, and she is smiling at me. "Daddy! Daddy!" Just warms the inner cackles of the heart... (Hey, I would know where these inner cackles are, I'm a cardiologist!)
So I reach down, and say "Goodmorning Pizz!" I scoop her up... "Goodmorning Daddy!"
So cute...
As I carry her over to the changing table, to see what surprises she has in store for me, she leans in and puts her head on my shoulder....
awww....
Then she puts her arms around me... or, at least, tries to... this just means that her hands barely make it to my huge shoulders...
awwwwwww....
Then she starts patting my shoulders as if she is trying to hug me... she mumbles something...
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..... wait!!! what?!?!?
She says it again... "I love you Daddy!"
I stopped.... frozen ... in the middle of her room... she just stayed there, hugging me....
"I love you Daddy!"
I teared up. I looked around to see if this wasn't a plant or a setup.... Nope just the Pizzle and I! No cameras... no GC2.0... no Ham-i-ton...
We ran out, and found the GC2.0, and I recanted the tale! She smiled. The Pizz smiled!
Then she said "Potty!" and all was right in the world!
***
I still cannot truly find the right words to express that moment. Now I have to go to bed, so I can wake up to that again!!!
