Ellie had a pretty big adjustment the first few weeks we were here that she only saw her Daddy for a little while in the evening. Before we moved here, Ryan had a home office and while he was working all day, he would pop in for lunch or a cold drink, and we could always go into his office to share with him the big accomplishments of our day. (Of course, we tried not to bug him and both girls learned early on to never go into his office if he was on the phone.)
But, even though we were doing separate things, he was there.
This morning as Ryan went out the garage door to leave for work, Ellie was groggily coming downstairs with her blankie and taggie. I knew we could catch him and wave to him as he left. She waved, she blew a kiss. Daddy couldn’t help himself – got out of the car and was back for hugs and kisses before he left.
I’m sure they both will have a better day now!
