When I came up with this idea. So here is what happened yesterday. I was working at a different office location which happens to be next door to husbands office. We both finished work @ 6:00pm and decided to go home together. And I got this idea which we were driving back home.
Before I divulge what was the brilliant idea, let me give you a little background.
Munchkin is a certified daddy’s little girl. She and her dad share this wonderful bond and you can see all the love she has for him in her eyes. The moment he walks in she is the center of his attention, she wants him to hold her and she will just sit there in his lap doing nothing. When I come back from work, she does come to me, I hold her for a few minutes, put her down, spend time with booboo, fix his evening snack, chocolate milk and then go change and freshen up. While I am doing all this Ms.Munchkin is entertaining herself. No complaints there. Husband comes home a little late almost an hour after I reach and the moment she hears the door open, its like she is a changed person. She starts squealing and crawling towards the door. And from then on she is with him practically following him everywhere and demanding to be carried.
Now since you guys know her normal behavior around me and her father let me come to what happened yesterday. So I suggested to husband that since we are going home at the same time, let us enter the house at the same time and go stand in the living room. Lets see what will the Munchkin do. Where will she go first to me or you? He laughed at me and warned me that this test will bring a lot of disappointment to me as he is sure that she will come crawling to him. And guess what, that’s how it went. We both enter the house and stand next to each other. She doesn’t even look at me, starts grinning and crawls to husband and stretches her arms asking him to hold her.
Yes I was a little disappointed. Felt sad. But again what was I thinking. She is clearly daddy’s little darling.
