Last night I was watching tv at about 8:30 and Ella was snuggled up beside me sleeping. She is a "sleep talker" which she unfortunately gets from me. She rolled over and started saying "daddy, daddy, daddy..." In her sleep she is still looking for him. Everytime we leave the house and come back, she asks for daddy when we pull in the driveway. She knows where Fastenal is and calls for him when we pass by. Every day (that it is not raining) she runs full speed at his car when it pulls up to meet him and give him a snuggle as soon as the door opens. If Matt comes home for lunch during the day, she throws a fit when he leaves.
All this to say. Daddy is Ella's best friend and to me that is so sweet. In a way Ella's pure and genuine love for Matt is an everyday example of how I should love Matt. She accepts him for who he is no matter what mood he's in. She always tries to make him smile. She's happiest when she's sitting beside him on the couch twirling her hair...
I think next week when he is gone to a training for the week, she will definitely take it the hardest. I'm gonna try to keep her busy so she doesn't get the chance to have a "daddy meltdown!"
