I Love Mommy Today (Not Daddy)

So this is Ryan writing. We had an funny Kaitlyn moment yesterday. We were driving to Prairie du Chien and both Christi and I were really tired. The girls kept yelling and being very loud. We kept telling them to stop but they wouldn't. So, Daddy slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road. Instead of saying, "Don't make me pull this car over", I just did it anyway. Of course as we were coming to a quick stop Kaitlyn said, Wooooow!. Anyway, when we stopped I turned around and gave them the Daddy Dalton look [anyone who knows me knows the Ryan Dalton mad look; Kaitlyn has allready perfected it] and stearnly told them enough was enough, it was time to be quiet, and they weren't to yell or scream anymore. Of course, Christi is trying desperatley not to laugh in the front seat, Kaitlyn gives me a dirty look, and Emily just gives me a space cadet look like she has no clue what is going on. But, they quiet down and we get going again. After about thirty seconds of driving, out of the blue Kaitlyn says, with her perfected Ryan Dalton mad look on her face, "I Love Mommy Today." Well, Christi and I couldn't help but laugh, and I said to her, "Kaitlyn, what about Daddy? Do you love Daddy too?" Her response was a simple, emphatic, and concise, "I love Mommy today!" So I laughed again and was proud of myself. You know your doing your parenting job well when your kids don't love you every once in a while. We were just glad she said it with some tact the way she did instead of outright saying, "I hate you Daddy" Luckily she hasn't learned the "hate" word yet. Don't worry though folks. Two hours later she loved her Daddy again. - Ryan
