My sweet Katie Belle
Our Katie Belle is becoming so incredibly sweet! She has the kindest heart and is learning so many good things.
The other day, she made her Daddy want to cry from her sweetness. He's back at college now, so he's gone first shift for work and then until about 10 PM for half the week. Katie, our little Daddy's girl to the extreme, asked about him all day and said she really wanted Daddy cuddles. I let her stay up late to see him and gave her a treat for being so good and cleaning the room: three m&ms. She saw a brown one and said her Daddy would really like that, so she was going to save it and share it with him. She held that m&m in her hand for an hour, playing and going about having her fun while keeping the treat she was saving for Daddy in one hand even though it impeded her. Of course, it melted terribly and when she saw it, she nearly cried. I told her it was just the outer shell and it was okay. Daddy came home and she was so excited, she ran up and hugged him, then gave him the melted piece of chocolate. I tried not to cringe at the sight of it, but Katie was so enthusiastic that Bill barely hesitated before eating it. She was so proud of saving him one of her treats and was so happy to see her Daddy home.
Today, I accidentally got my finger cut and Katie saw it bleeding. She told me that it was okay, because Daddy was coming home soon and he would take care of me. She said that Daddy was my very best friend and we loved each other so much, and we always take good care of each other because we're married. It made me tear up, because I never had that kind of influence as a child. I never knew marriage could be quite so wonderful, and never knew what it was like to witness a great marriage and partnership. I absolutely love that without talking to Katie about things like marriage, she picks up on them so easily because she witnesses it every day: parents who never fight or raise their voices and who are a united team that clearly love and adore each other. It's exciting to me to realize that she not only sees it, but is taking note of it and is growing in it.
How special to have the Daddy's Girl I always wanted, and a little girl who is watching her parents' love like a fairytale. <3
