Last week I went to Texas and spent way too much time inside a strange biosphere (hello, Pauly Shore??? yech) hotel/convention center. For the record, Grapevine, TX has little to recommend it. And the Gaylord Hotel and Convention Center there is perfectly adequate....just so long as you don't want to get outside for sunlight or fresh air. After a few days I thought I might be getting rickets....
But I digress. The main point is that Monkey and her Dad were on their own. They sang together, read books, played with toys and chased each other all through the apartment. They relaxed the 5-second rule...and ate cheerios off of the floor.
In short, they bonded.
So this morning, as Dad was going out the door, Monkey and I stood there to say our goodbyes....and Monkey did the most amazing thing.
As I was holding her in my arms, Dad said bye-bye. Monkey leaned into him, reached our her arms, and hugged him with her little head leaning on his chest.
I about died with happiness, watching this scene. She's daddy's little girl.
