Daddy-O*

One of my favorite parts of parenthood has been watching the relationship between Daisy & J develop. There has been an instant bond since the moment they laid eyes on each other, and the highlight of Daisy’s day is when her Daddy comes walking through the front door in the evening. Typically, she progressively becomes more fussy throughout the afternoon and then, just as the situation becomes dire, her knight and shining armor comes through the door.

And just like that: HAPPINESS

I heard this song a few weeks ago while I was on a scout for some new children’s music, and the lyrics brought tears to my eyes.

I had a great day full of friends and play

But my favorite part is always coming home to you,  

Daddy-O

I did so many things, where do I start

Gonna tell you everything and not leave out a single part

Daddy-O

D-A-D-D-Y, oh how I love ya

Oh, how I love ya

D-A-D-D-Y, oh how I love ya

Oh, how I love ya

Daddy-O

Riding our bikes through the park

Camping in the summertime

Walking to the waterfalls, Daddy-O

You teach me things without saying a word

The time we spend together is worth more than all the silver & gold

Daddy-O

 

D-A-D-D-Y, oh how I love ya

Oh, how I love ya

D-A-D-D-Y, oh how I love ya

Oh, how I love ya
