How She Loves Her Daddy
Eva loves her Daddy, as the pictures from the last post can attest. Here are a few stories to show further evidence.
Weston has to spend a lot of time in the basement, working on getting it finished. This dismays Eva a great deal, because she is not allowed in the construction zone, except under constant supervision. So she spends a lot of time at the top of the stairs calling for Papa. She has recently started yelling "kiss, kiss..." or "hug, hug...". It is a clever tactic. Who can resist such a request?
Last week Weston had to be gone overnight for work. This distresses Eva - something especially evident by the next day, when she asks for me with great frequency. The desktop on our computer is currently a family picture. She saw this picture after having missed her Daddy for over a day, and immediately asked for a hug, arms spread out wide. So I lifted her up to the computer screen and she gave her Papa a solid kiss on the face and hugged the screen with all her might. Nearly brought a tear to my eye.
More hugs were required just yesterday, as Weston left the house, just for an hour or so - but without Eva. She went to the door, crying, and again asked for "hugs" and then spread her arms wide and hugged the door. If this is not love, what is?
A few weeks ago I went to Rexburg, ID without Weston. Eva and I left on Friday and didn't get back until Monday evening. She talked to Weston on the phone Saturday and all she could say was "miss you"... and kiss the phone. Needless to say, she didn't want to leave his side for several days after we got home. It's a good thing it was the 4th of July weekend, and he was around a lot. We have recently decided that Weston should take Eva with him everywhere that he can. It is so cute. But never fear, she still wants me when she has an oowie! :)
