Saran Wrap

My daughter loves me and I know this because she is rarely seperated from me. I love every second of it. So I thought. It was one of those days when she was my shadow and following me everywhere I go. The issue was I was cooking and she was there, I sat down to eat and she sat in my lap (pet peeve warning I need at least 3 feet of space people)going the the bathroom and then banging on the door etc..each time I told her to leave until I was finished or closed the door and said I will be back. That didn't go over to well as tears hit her eyes immediatly. Fine, its an emotional day and kids have that so I said be calm Kevin it will stop but it kept happening and I was about to go crazy. What perplexed me the most was when she started crying she wrapped her arms around my leg and wouldn't let me move anywhere without her. Each time? I wasn't the only one in the house by the way little girl but it felt that way. This behavior has never happened before and hasn't happened since so I was thinking where is this coming from? I don't want her seeking attention in this way so I choose to ignore her and let her no but when she would just come over and saran wrap my leg I couldn't ignore her. So instead of losing my mind (I got really close) I sat her down and talked to her and asked what was wrong. She handles everything better that way and I hope this continues.

  1. Sometimes a girl just needs her Dad; ain't no 'splaining that, really. My eldest is woman grown, married, and living away from home, but she still calls sometimes just to hear me tell her it'll be okay, or swings by, 'because I really needed a Daddy hug.' Hang in there - like my Dad said when I swallowed the penny "This too shall pass."

  2. I agree with DBFrank and being a daddy's girl myself...we just love our daddy and when we get older we seek men who reminds us of our dads. When she gets older you will see and love the relationship that you two have.
