"I love you daddy" T-shirt: toddler outfit of the day
She got this cute T-shirt as a birthday gift. It says "I love you Daddy". Isn't it just the cutest?
She hasn't been that cute with her daddy though. For quite a while she has really played up with the whole love thing. Saying "I don't love you daddy" or "I don't like you daddy", and then professing her undying love towards mummy. She has actually said "I don't like you daddy, I love mummy".
Of course, she only really does it to annoy him. You know the way kids like to push your buttons to see what that does to you? Well, that's what I think has been her end game. She want to see how far she can push him and what he will do. Maybe it is because she feels so secure with him, her stay at home daddy being the main carer for her, that she knows he will always be there for her. Or maybe she sees him so much she gets very excited with mummy, and just wants to prioritise interacting with mummy, and that's the way she verbalises it.
I don't know why she does it. And you won't get much useful answers from a three-year old! Thankfully she seems to have got over it. Finally. It has taken about six months. Now she is quite happy giving her daddy kisses again, and telling him she loves her. Kissy, cuddly, little girl, and daddy is really loving it.
I think I'll have to go and get this shirt out again, just to celebrate the newly affectionate little girl!
