Ever parent has special moments, sayings, or routines that they do with their child.  I have several in place with my daughter, Danni.  These instances are fun and make you smile internally and externally.  Then one day you turn around and the little baby is a toddler and your turn around again and she is a kid.  This is the sotry of one of those time.

Ever since Danni could first speak, she has always been inquisitive.  Her first phrase was “What’s that?”  I always answered with what it was.  I believe that is how she learned.  The other question, she always asked was “Daddy, wha-cha doing?”

She would sing it.  That is what made it special.  I would sing back either what I was doing like “Driving you to school”  or “Loving you.”  She really got a kick out of the “Loving you.”

The other night, the whole family was sitting in the living room watching T.V.  Dnani was in her mommy lap and I was sprawled out on the couch.

Danni said, “Daddy wha-cha doing?” but didn’t sing it.

I replied, “I am not going to tell you unless you ask correctly.”

Danni: “What ARE you doing?”

My heart broke.  It was the end of an era.  I looked at my wife and Chelsea said, “I didn’t teach her that.”  I looked at Danni, a little sadly, and said, “Watching T.V.  What are you doing?”

Danni: “Loving you!”
