Dale: We almost had a tear-jerker of a "baby moment" a couple of minutes ago. Heather was sitting by our front door with Madeleine, who lives to watch the world go by. Well, Heather wouldn't let Maddie eat some unidentifiable piece of lint, so of course our little girl became loudly upset.
At that point, Daddy leapt into action, getting her attention with a series of facial contortions and funny noises. She sat down and started to laugh. Heather said "Go see Daddy!" Maddie smiled, and wonder of wonders, started crawling right toward my outstretched arms. She was crawling with her best five tooth smile, making a beeline and then...she turned toward the canned goods on the microwave stand in the kitchen. Daddy or creamed corn? Creamed corn or Daddy? Creamed corn wins in a knockout!
Ah, well. At least she appreciates Daddy's new Journey two disc set, bouncing along happily to "Don't Stop Believin'" earlier this morning.
