This post is dedicated to the special bond that Ella Grace and her daddy share that makes my heart melt daily. She absolutely adores him, and his love for her is the most precious thing I have ever witnessed. From the moment she came into this world, she had him wrapped around her little finger, and she was her "daddy's girl".
From the time we brought her home from the hospital, Zach has sang a special song to her. It started out as a lullaby when he would rock her to sleep, then became an anytime song. Now he {and sometimes I} sing it all the time, as well as listen to it in the car. This seems to be the only song that soothes her no matter what. She asks for it every time we get in the car these days and as she listens she waves her hands and whispers "dada" or "daddy" over and over. It seriously makes me teary eyed every time!
"Little Miss Magic" by Jimmy Buffett
Constantly amazed by the blades of the fan on the ceiling
The clever little glances she gives me can't help but be appealing
She loves to ride into town with the top down
Feel that warm breeze on her gentle skin
She is my next of kin
Chorus:
I see a little more of me everyday
I catch a little more mustache turning gray
Your mother is the only other woman for me
Little miss magic, what you gonna be?
Sometimes I catch her dreamin and wonder where that little mind meanders
Is she strollin along the shore or cruisin oer the broad savannah
I know someday shell learn to make up her own rhymes
Someday shes gonna learn how to fly
Oh that I wont deny
Chorus:
I catch a little more dialogue comin my way
I see those big brown eyes just start to lookin astray
Your mothers still the only other woman for me
Little miss magic, what you gonna be?
Yes she loves to ride into town with the top down
Feel that warm breeze on her gentle skin
She is my next of kin
Constantly amazed by the blades of the fan on the ceiling
Those clever little looks she gives just can't help but be appealing
I know someday shell learn to make up her own rhymes
One day shes gonna learn how to fly
That I wont deny
Chorus:
I see a little more of me everyday
I feel a little more mustache turning gray
Your mothers still the only other woman for me
Little miss magic, what you gonna be?
Little miss magic, what you gonna be?
Little miss magic, just cant wait to see
Its raining, its pouring
Your old man is snoring
I just know they will enjoy listening to Point Of Grace's "King Of the World" in the near future too...SO sweet!
