Daddy?

BG was being super cute today. I had her in the afternoon and was putting her down for her nap. Well, she wasn't in a nap mood. So she ran around in her crib for 15 minutes or so, then started throwing things out.

I went into her room and picked up her animals and blanket that she'd thrown to the floor, when she turns to me and very softly says, "Daddy?"

"What little bear?"

"Are you mine, daddy?"

"Yes, I'm your daddy. All yours."

"And you'll always come back for me?"

"I will always come back for you. I love you. You're my beautiful girl."

"I'm your beautiful girl!" Then she gave me a huge hug.

She's got me wrapped around her finger, that's for sure. Her mother's right: when she's a teenager, she's going to have to be "bad cop".
