Happy Birthday to Boo
Today when I came home from voting (which took about an hour and a half!) before work, Ellie was hiding under the piano. Her current thing is hiding from people when they come into the room. When she came out, I said, "Come here, Ellie. I have something to say to you."
"What is it, Daddy?"
I grabbed her and snuggled her on my lap in the middle of the living room floor and sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
Three years ago today I became a daddy. The most incredible and demanding and fulfilling stage of my life began. As she's growing up, Ellie is turning into a real person with a cute personality all her own.
But what I love most about Ellie right now is the fact that she just unconditionally loves me and her mom. Every now and then, she'll tell me, out of the blue, "Daddy, you're my favorite daddy!" or "Daddy, you're the funniest guy in the whole world!" The other day I let her stay up a little late to watch "Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie" with me. She snuggled up in a blanket on my lap and we had a really fun time together.
I love my little Ellie-Boo. Happy Birthday, Sweetie.
