Mommy vs. Daddy

Olivia is about one and a half now and usually sleeps through the night. She goes to sleep easily holding one of her many blankets.


From time to time she will cry out, usually around 3-4 am. When I wake up to her crying, I usually wait to see if Beth will wake up and deal with it. Eventually Beth wakes up, looks at the clock, and asks me to take care of it.

Last night, Olivia woke up and started crying. I stumbled down to her room and slowly opened the door. As I opened the door, she stopped crying. As I entered the room, the silence was broken by, "Daddy? No! No! Daddy No! Mommy? Mommy! Baby Mommy!"

I asked her, "Do you want me to get mommy?" She replied "Yes! Yes!" Baby Mommy!".

I spoke loudly into the baby monitor, "She wants her mommy... nothing I can do."

I totally won that round of Mommy vs. Daddy.
