I Like Daddy


Last Sunday when Michael got up in the service, Stacia began to say, "I Like Daddy". She says this with a variety of intonations. She says this with glee....loud and soft. All week she's been telling us, "I LIKE Daddy". Today in church she began again. Cute, huh?


What makes it really special is that she didn't know Daddy when he got home from his deployment. It's taken 5 months, but she has decided that she LIKES Daddy. I told Mike it would come - and now she runs to meet him when he comes home, cries if she can't go with him, and declares to all that SHE LIKES DADDY! It's a turning point for our family. I think it means the deployment is over. ::snort::


She's been running around all night saying, "I like Daddy, Jamin do you like Daddy".....She is asking this question of the older three boys - the big guys in her life until "Daddy" came home. It's late and I realized I could capture it on video - so she isn't fresh but this is her little voice. And of course, when the camera starts, Zander starts....and this was the 5th try so you hear us telling Alex to hush. ::blush:: but WE LIKE DADDY!

Ryann says "I love you, Tara" when anyone says they love anyone or anything. Oh, and when she sings "Tomorrow" from "Annie": Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love ya, Tara.

That's so cute!

That's so special. It must have been quite hard on Mike to arrive home and have one of his babies not know him! I'm SO happy for y'all now that it feels like you've recovered from the deployment.

That's the sweetest thing. When I was playing the video, Carys come running over to see!

How cute! Glad you caught it on video. And glad that she knows and LIKES Mike now.

So, do you call Zander, Zander or Alex or both? I realize most of your kids have multiple names, just curious how you choose which nickname to use?

I told my Alex she could be Xandra. She said no. :-) She does put up with Ali, though she prefers Alex. (or Boo, which is what comes out of my mouth a lot. LOL)

Very precious! I wish I had the boys on tape...their little voices and especially Jordan saying he likes daddy, because right now he doesn't like us too much........

Too cute! Well worth the download time on my dial-up to hear!!! :-) I may have to try this video upload thing. Hmmm...... :-)

What a sweet video! I'm sure it's a real blessing to your dh to hear those words. Evie was the same way, very hard to get on her good side, and I'm sure it's been a long road.

I just love this video option on the blog. It make me almost feel like I know you and your family in real life :-)

They grow up fast, don't they, ladies? Kelly - you KNOW I'm praying for Jordan.
