Daddy and I, a self-portrait.
The odd time I am just too tired to make it through lunch or sometimes dinner.
It is hard to believe that Lily has been home with us for almost four months. The other night she and Dale were playing, they were chest to chest and he was sitting on the edge of the bed then would rock back till he was laying down, saying "weeeeeeeee" the whole time. Her laughter was so pure it stopped me in my tracks, she was so happy, brought tears to my eyes to hear that laughter.
The father and daughter bond is sealed for life now, the other evening Dale was singing away (no surprise to any of his co-workers if they are reading this) and Lily started to dance. My first thought was that this is truly a match made in heaven. Of course, he is tickled pink to finally have someone appreciate his vocal talents.
This evening we went to The Man Store (aka Canadian Tire) on the way out as we were putting on our jackets at the back entrance Lily reaches up grabs Dale's baseball cap and passes it to him, then grabs her little knitted cap, small things like that are just so funny, so out of the blue. It is normally a battle of wills to get her to wear a hat.
It has only taken us four months to figure out that a sure fire way to get her to eat two veggies at most meal time is to she is distract her with toys. Meal time is still a very slow process but so worth it to see her eating healthy, nutritious food (most of the time it is healthy - the odd chicken nuggets are served too).
