Dads and Donuts




It was a speical morning at Nia's school hanging a bit with their daddy's, and eating donuts. They loved it. As tight as Nia and I are, she and Ian have a super special relationship too. It's very interesting that I took Nia to the dentist the first time at just over age 2. It did not go well at all. Ian is the one who took her 6 months later. And of course, no problem. Last Summer for her first couple swimming lessons, I took her and she cried and didn't want to participate. So then Ian took her, and she was fine. Well, the interesting thing about all that is that Nia recently, clearly told me that she wants Daddy to take her to the dentist next time. I said, "OK, I'm sure that will be fine, by why do you want Daddy to do it.? She replied "Because I can be calm with him." huh? I'm not sure what she means, but I gather that he must have a more mellow, calm, protective approach to her. I have no problem with that! That's something that those two can do on their own and I guess that's why mommies AND daddies are meant to be when possible.
