The bond between a father and a daughter is hard to explain. From the beginning a little girl has her daddy wrapped around her little finger, and in Adam's case their little fingers look the same. I know that my bond with my father, though we have had ups and downs like any pair, is so strong and something that only the two of us share. The bond between a mother and a daughter is just as special and very different. There is a strong understanding and kinship between ladies. Why do I write about these relationships? Adam and Grace have had a special relationship that I have not had that much experience in since her birth. There are only a few times that she and I have had the bond.
The bond I speak of...this morning as Adam was about to change Gracie's diaper he said "now don't pee or poop while daddy is changing your diaper" Their bond is starting out really strong with her defiance. Again, right as Adam was changing between the clean and dirty diaper Grace peed all over her and luckily a little of the clean diaper this time. Grace has a crazy knack for peeing when Adam is in the middle of the diaper switch...and he doesn't even take long to perform the switch. This is a bond that I don't understand and am glad that I usually don't experience. Thank goodness for changing pad covers and the fact that we have a washer in our house. Could you imagine if we had a boy?!?!?
Hope everyone enjoyed this little glimpse into the bond between a father and daughter. I am interested to see what their future relationship will be like.
