woohoo for our super heroes...aka dad & pa-pa!

"Dadda I love you" I can't tell you the amount of times I hear this in a morning and evening usually followed by "I have a cuddle for you". Mr Loveliness is simply as happy as can be by these words and huge hugs. I think the thought of having girls was a little shock for him back then but the relationship he has with them because they are girls is beautiful.
My sister and I are like this we have always been incredibly close to ours and the girls think the world of their Pa-Pa too. A dad symbolises security and comfort, they help us and as we get older we help them, they're our bestest friends and our super heros. My mum has retold the story many times of the little me with the health visitor at my 3 year check when I was asked to draw a picture of mummy or daddy I replied I'd draw daddy and got straight to it with crayons and paper. When the health visitor took a look she pointed out to me that I'd told her I'd be drawing daddy so why have I drawn a picture of mummy? I apparently at the age of 3 curtly put her in her place explaining that it was daddy, daddy has curly hair and daddy is mine and I love him lots. (I'd be the same now, except his hair is not so much in abundance as back then!)
When mini1 draws she will almost always draw Pa-Pa it must be a trait I've passed on!
