Daddy Love

After a distinct phase of mother-preference, common recently among the mom's group set and characterized by such phrases as "No Daddy. Only Mommy," The Mommy has been overthrown. Clio is now demonstrating a distinct preference for Daddy (on reading books: "Daddy do it." On eating meals: "Daddy help you."). Perhaps this is because Mommy takes Clio to the grocery store, but Daddy takes her out to play with sidewalk chalk, and to walk to the corner to put the mail in the big blue box. Or maybe it's just because Daddy's are generally awesome. Who can say?

Clio and Dave have a thing for lying on the floor and "taking naps" together. Here they are this weekend. Don't you love how Clio is patting Dave's head?

And here they are several weeks ago, with a baby and a lamb (not sure what that part is about- you'll have to ask one of them).


Clearly, the camera is an unwanted interruption to this game they are playing. Oh, the Mommy is so left out!

Luckily, I'm not completely out of the picture. When it comes to changing diapers, apparently Mommy's your girl. Lucky, lucky, Mommy.
