Every February, my husband heads down to Vegas for a week long get away. What does he do there you ask? He goes to sit in one spot surrounded by a bunch of drunken rednecks to watch cars circle around a track over 300 times. I never have quite figured out his fascination with Nascar, but I am glad that he has something that makes him happy.
This morning as I watched my daughter kiss her daddy goodbye, I couldn't help but get a tear in my eye. This year has been the first year that it is difficult to see him go (Odd, right?) As Addy and I walked out to the car to go to the babysitter, she kept repeating "daddy" over and over again. We pulled out of the driveway, and again she repeated " Daddy" It amazed me because I knew that she knew what was going on. At 21 months, I would think that she wouldn't understand, but she did. I then responded with " Yes honey. Daddy is going to be gone for a few days, but will be back soon." She responds back " Daddy see cars go Vrrrooom" Addy never ceases to amaze me. She is intelligent and picks up on things that I never thought she would know. I am so blessed to be her mommy and cannot wait to spend a whole week with her!
That's precious
