Daddy's Girl

after 2 years, 7 months and 26 days of changing yucky diapers, getting up in the middle of the night, giving bubble baths, kissing ouchies, serving over 1 million sippy cups, playing playdough, singing (and i'm not so good at that), reading, and loving my baby - i have been replaced. cate has become a daddy's girl and i'm in shock. i'm not sure why because i'm a daddy's girl, but i wasn't expecting to be "second in line" so soon.
last night, when cate came home - i got a hug and a kiss and a little bit of sass. it was obvious that she was a little upset with me (i left her overnight at grandma's), but i didn't feel too rejected b/c i told myself she'd get over it and all is well that ends well. well... in walked peter! AND, he was the man of the hour. i never saw cate so excited...i mean she ran straight toward him like he was the last available swing in the park. She screamed "daddy, daddy daddy" at the top of her lungs, jumped into his arms all while pumping her arm up and down in the air.
well - i guess that's it. i will now graciously accept a backseat position to the most important man in her life (for now).
