Selfish Dad milestone


Last night Syl was in bed before I got home, and I'm going to be late tonight, so this morning I stayed home a little later than usual so that I could see her for a few minutes. She was playing on the kitchen floor as I went to leave. I waved and said "bye-bye" and for the first time she burst into tears. Then she stood up and walked over to me with her hands up for a hug. That was the first time I've gotten that kind of reaction, and I have to admit that it was a great feeling - so much so that after she calmed down I said "bye" and waved again, kind of hoping she'd repeat the performance... She didn't. By then she was on to something else.
