otherwise known as the day Zooey REJECTED mommy!!!!
Everyone told me that around the 2-year mark, Zooey would start showing a preference for
her dad, that she would finally become the daddy's girl that both her daddy and
I have been not-so-patiently waiting for.
Well, at 22 months, it seems that day has come.
I thought I would be jumping up and down with joy to get a bit of respite from the
constant cries for "mommy, mommy" throughout the days and nights, but when she woke up crying
"da-ddeee, da-ddeee" and pushed me away, my heart broke a little and
I finally understood the rejection Chuck has been feeling all these months. sigh.
For several weeks now, she is always asking where daddy is when she wakes up in the mornings, and she goes to him more and more frequently, so it appears the
transition is definitely happening. And no matter how quietly she calls for "da-ddeee," he drops whatever he is doing and comes running.
I, on the other hand, yell for "Chuck" from the next room and no response, but that's another story.
Of course five minutes after this picture, she called for mommy, and all was right with the world.
