Bye Dad!

When Maddy's age was said only in months and her bubba was the start and finish of everyday... she said her first word. Dudda. Mumma came shortly after, but dudda was always said more often. Her eyes will light up when she sees him come home and you can feel the bond that they have. You can be in the same room... neither will be "talking"... but they are communicating- giggling at each other and making faces. It is because of this that it is very fitting that her first sentence be to her dad. Ray dropped her off at daycare on Monday and as he walked away he heard the tiniest voice... "Bye dad." My heart melts.
