In Daddy We Trust

So, the other night, Anni crawled into bed with me. Dana had woken up earlier, couldn't sleep, so he went down to watch tv on the couch and doze down there. Anni is working on a nasty cold right now, so when she woke up, she was completely out of sorts, uncomfortable and unhappy. I tried to get her settled, but to no avail. I finally asked her what the problem was and she said, "I just want to go see my Daddy!" It was much too late for her to be running around the house, so I told her I'd go get him. That seemed to appease her.

So, I went downstairs to get Dana, after I got Anni settled in the middle of the bed. He came back upstairs with me, Anni took one look at him, gave a big sigh and fell right back asleep.

I don't know if it was the fact that I agreed to go get her daddy or the fact that she knew he would come, but whatever it was, the trust that child has in her dad definitely says something about the relationship those two have now...and hopefully always will.
