Preface: Melynn and I have a little thing we do. When I put her to bed we both do the sign for I love you with our hands. We then touch our fingers together and make little gun noises, "pew pew". I don't know how the whole thing started, but it's a little thing daddy and Melly do.
Today Wendi put Melly down for her nap, at the end Melly requested that I come give her a kiss. I went in and kissed her good night and left the room. A few minutes later we hear her knocking on her bedroom door. Of course our first reaction was to tell her, "Melly you're not getting up from your nap, go to bed." She continued to knock and knock. Finally she broke down crying and I went to go see what the problem was. I walked in and almost yelled at her, but instead I waited to see what she wanted.
As soon as she saw me she said, "Daddy, I love you" and making the sign for I love you, "Pew Pew" I had forgotten to do our little ritual and she was very upset.
Just melted my heart.

Awwww! Very sweet. You are such a good daddy. You had a good dad you learned from. He had lots of funny rituals like that with you kids too! Good thing you waited and didn't go in and yell.
