Yesterday, Seven started showing a preference for me. Seven was fussy in church and E took him to the back to calm him down. When they were gone for a while, I went back to check on them. Seven was still crying and as soon as I held him, he quieted right down. E was embarrassed and said all the mothers back there probably thought he was a horrible dad since he couldn't calm Seven down but I did right away. I told him it was impressive that he even went back there.
Last night Seven was fussing again for E and I walked by and talked to him and he calmed down. But he started fussing again when I left and poor E said "Daddy loves you, too, Seven."
I felt bad for E because he was upset. But really, I loved it.

Poor E... I know that feeling. Ginny has shown a preference for my Beloved more than me almost from the beginning. It does go back and forth, and I know there will be times in the future when she will running to me more than her Daddy. The joys of parenthood... :)
ReplyDeleteAww.... poor E. My youngest prefers DH, especially at Mass. He can calm him during service faster than I ever good. BTW - the baby carrier... a life saver in church.
