His Daddy Coming - Mackenzie

Last night I took my girls to dinner (Mexican). There was a sun on the wall, which was painted in a somber face and looked like it may have been crying. Mackenzie, you were fixated on this sun. You didn't want to look at it but you couldn't take your eyes off it. You kept focused on the fact that the sun was sad "sun sad mommy" "me no like". Then you said to me 1/2 as a statement and 1/2 as a question "his mommy coming?...his daddy coming?". I didn't know how to respond. You had such compassion for this thing and were so concerned but at the same time you were hopeful that his mom & dad would come.

I am not sure what I should take from that...should I imply you are sad when you aren't with mommy & daddy or should I take that mommy & daddy can heal all wounds. I will believe the later, because I think it is best for both of us.

I tried to assure you that he was not sad, that it looked that way but he wasn't sad. You didn't seem to buy it and even asked about him again before bed time. Guess I have a very emotion girl on our hands.

P.S. Yesterday you also held out your hand (in an adult like shung but with your hands cupped as if you were holding water in them) and said "I gotta go get a haircut, ok? Then I get a treat, ok?" Looks like snip-its has a customer for life!
