Crunches

Maevy,

I had the ACL in my right leg repaired last week with a surgery, and since then had been on crutches to go along with the large knee brace that goes from upper thigh to the ankle.  The crutches scared you at first and you've asked several times "Don't get me with the crunches, OK?"  Crunches.  You're funny.  It's so cute to see the way you mispronounce some words.  And then sometimes you'll ask if you can help me with the crunches and then you place both hands on one of the crutches, about half-way up, and hold on as I swing them to get around.  You can be very sweet.

Also, this week was the first time you walked up to me and without prompting said "I love you Daddy".  I had to hold it together and reciprocate.  And you've started doing that to your mother & I randomly.  Of course, you've also told us how you love blankie, bear and misc. things.

3 times you've asked to kiss my knee out of the blue.  Once when you first saw me after the surgery, once when you were helping clean up, and once when brushing your teeth. Thank you so much for thinking of me and I hope you extend that to others as well.

I am so proud of you and love seeing you grow up day by day.  You're a beautiful girl and you'll be a beautiful pink butterfly for Halloween.


Love you,
Daddy
