Momma's Girl

Dear Lilia,

It's been a while since I've written and a lot of things have changed for you.  One of those happens to be that you finally decided on who you like best.  As only makes sense, you chose Mommy.

I understand completely considering that you spend all day with her, she plays with you all day, and she feeds you.  I do like it when you at least PRETEND that you like me though.  In the last week or so you learned to actually laugh.  Mommy showed me how she could get you to laugh by nuzzling your belly, but it sure doesn't work when I do it.  It's actually kind of funny how you'll laugh hysterically when Mommy does it, but you just look at me like I'm crazy when I do it.

Needless to say, I was happy that you decided to save up lots of smiles for me this weekend.  You decided that it was OK to be a Daddy's girl for a couple of days.  I finally even got you to laugh for me.  I think it's a good trade-off.  You can be a Momma's girl during the week and a Daddy's girl during the weekend. 

I hope you realize that we both love you no matter who you like better, but I hope that you keep throwing me a bone by being a Daddy's girl every now and then.

Love,
Daddy

  1. I hear you. I'm also the "less favorite" parent and nothing I do is funny. NOTHING. I'm hoping that means I get to be the cool parent in like 10 years when belly nuzzling isn't funny anyway yes?
