Shadows

The other night Megan woke up at 2:30am and was scared. We're not sure if it was a nightmare or shadows or the noise of her humidifier. After trying and failing to console her and letting her know everything was going to be fine, I brought her into our bed. Unfortunately, by that time, both she & I were fairly awake and didn't fall back to sleep right away. As I was lying next to her with my eyes closed, I felt this little hand start to rub my arm.

Megan: 'Daddy, you're very pretty.'

Dad: 'Thank you Megan.'

Dad: 'I love you Megan.'

Megan: 'Yes, you do.'

It's cool when your kid is confident in your love for them. I hope that doesn't change and that she can grow up in that confidence. Also, the lessons on the difference between pretty and handsome have begun. I know I live in a house full of females, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
