Girls are Different?


Macy is running a fever now, too. Great. I'll get to spend another day home tomorrow with sick kids. Poor things...

She just woke up and cried a bit. As I was stroking her hair and watching her fall back asleep, I just wanted to cry. She's so beautiful, perfect, sweet- and she's a girl. I never want to be away from her. Why is that? I never felt that way with Quin or Freddie at this age, at least not that I can remember. Is it because she's a girl? Is it because she's the last one I plan on having? Is it because since birth I've had to shield her from the many causes of allergic reactions? I'm so attached to her, and so protective of her. I don't care to even leave the house for very long without her. It baffles me. I'd rather sleep next to her in her twin bed than sleep in my own bed- and I usually do!

I tell her I love her 20 times or more a day. Of course, I love the boys, but it's different with Macy.

Tonight I feel grateful for: a daughter and her unselfish, ever-giving father who works hours that I wouldn't even consider so that I don't have to be away from any of the kids
