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!”

That is a sad thing to go through. My favorites were animals. One child said Potamilus for Hippopotamus and the other said Allizizor for Alligator.
Even now my four year old says Star Worls instead of Star Wars, that R just befuddles him.
Both said “mines.” That toy is mines. We worked hard on that one and aren’t said to see it go.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Danni says a couple of other things like strawbabies for strawberries, hancakes for pancakes, but I think I will miss the singing the most.
