Love Thursday
My Boyfriend and our daughter have a very special bond. Even though I was the one that carried her under my heart for nine months, it was them that clicked the second they saw each other. They became a team, right there and then. A unit. Their hearts were connected with a million little strands of love as soon as they clapped eyes on each other.
Munchkin has always idolized her Daddy. This partly manifests it’s self in Munchkin wanting to copy her Daddy. If Paddy is standing in the kitchen talking to someone, one leg bent and his arms crossed, it won’t be long before you see Munchkin standing next to him, trying to adopt the same stance. She will be wobbling and losing her balance in the process, making it even cuter.
On a walk last week, Paddy was walking with his hands on his back. Munchkin ran to catch up with him, then slowed down and put her own hands on her back, trying to match his stride. My heart was close to bursting.
I snapped this picture with my phone so please forgive the quality.

Darling post. You never know who's going to click with whom, but it's magic to see it happen.

That's the cutest picture!! I love that you call her Munchkin too, b/c I sometimes call my kids that.

Oh, that is so sweet! I love this picture. Isn't it wonderful how our little ones imitate us? Snuggle Bug just cracks us up with this sometimes!
