Daddy
One of the endearing thing in raising a child is when she takes her first self motivated attempt to call you, “dah-dah.” For the uninitiated, it means “daddy.” ( this morning I changed Amanda’s diaper and after I got everything in place before she goes back to sleep, I did my ‘routine’ – pick her up from her crib and kiss her cheek saying “daddy loves you.”
Normally she will give a beautiful smile (she is a light sleeper, and ready to play anytime, even at midnight!). This morning, when I put her back down and give her the milk bottle, she says, “dah-dah.” That makes my day. Thank God for life’s simple blessings.
