Love you Daddy!

Kiddy#1 and I usually have quite a battle in the morning to get her ready for school.  She is a very headstrong child who knows what she wants and doesn't like being told otherwise.  Very seldom does a morning go by without us having to argue about her not brushing her teeth in time or not putting her shoes on when I ask her to and the list goes on.

Daddy's been working late in the evenings this week so she hasn't seen much of him.  She saw him lying in bed this morning and she sneaked up to him and whispered "Daddy, Daddy, wake up!".  He moved slightly and was greeted with a big kiss and hug from her followed with the words "love you Daddy!".  It was just so beautiful to see.  

Getting her to brush her teeth and not just sit with the toothbrush in her hand for 10 minutes was still a mission, but it was less stressful than usual.  She eventually did it without wasting too much time and without making us both late for school and work.  We usually brush our teeth together and she would sit on the side of the bath while busy.  This morning she patted next to her showing me that she wanted me to sit next to her.  I sat down and she leaned with her head against my arm and said "Mommy, you're my friend".  Such beautiful words to hear from your child.  It really warms my heart and I cannot imagine being able to love her more than I do!   She is such an amazing little girl.

Kiddy#2 seems to be over the worst with the teething at the moment.  She had no fever last night or the night before and during the day she seems more like her old self.  She eats better too which is great.  She had her Chicken Pox and MMR vaccines on Monday and she was very unhappy about it.  She wasn't feeling well to begin with and then got the two vaccines on top of it.  She's been walking for a couple of months now, but yesterday was the first day that she walked out of school with me holding one hand and her big sister the other.  So cute!  She was supposed to go to the toddler class from beginning of this month, but she refuses to go.  Whenever they try to take her from the baby class over to the toddler class she cries so much that they teacher from the baby class has to go and get her again.  So for now the plan is not to upset her too much and just keep her there a little longer until she feels more confident to go over to the other class.  We don't feel rushed into moving her over anyway.  They grow up so fast, it won't do any harm to keep her with her current teacher for now if she is happy there.
