So, everyone who knows my family knows that Olivia is a daddy's girl! Daddy is her favourite person in the whole world, he is better than everyone! In fact, he is probably better than everyone else combined and multiplied by 100! Usually it's not a big deal, when he's home she is happy, when he is not home, she deals with it and finds something else to occupy her until he comes home but today...today was different!
Today, Olivia had a terrible cold! She was up a lot through the night (bryce got up with her every time, I never even heard her), and when she woke up in the morning she went straight for daddy again. But when daddy left for work...I have never seen a sadder child! She went from being sick but dealing with it to a complete and utter meltdown. It was insane!! But that's not all, first he left to take the van in for service, then he came back by the shuttle to get his work van so he could leave for work and Olivia noticed he was home, so when he left again she had another meltdown. Eventually she fell asleep on the couch for more than an hour, which was really good, I think she felt a little better (cold wise, not the missing daddy part) when she woke up.
I couldn't do anything for her, i asked her "olivia, are you hungry" and she said "no uh, uh, I want daaaaaaddy" (imagine that being said in the most annoying, "i'm about to have another meltdown" voice you can think of) over and over and over again!
Thankfully Bryce made a big sale at work and decided he was done for the day at 2pm, so he came home and saved me from our 2 year old!
She was still whiney but nothing like she was before he came home!! Then she went to bed at 6:30pm...2 hours early!!
Rough day. Sorry kid. :(
