The Sicky sads.

Any little knows that her Daddy is the big strong protector. This is the reason we choose them to begin with. However, even Daddy's get sick.  This can pose a problem for a little. We are very used to having lots of attention, and time with Daddy. Recently, Daddy was sick for a while, it was all he could do to drag himself to work. When he was home he was sleeping, or very weak and tired.  I tried very hard to look after him and make sure he was okay. Most of the time though I was lonely. Daddy is my best friend and we do a lot together. So I felt a little lost. I read books, took long baths, watched TV, cleaned, and cuddled Daddy while he slept. So when Daddy started to feel better it made me very happy. Daddy could see I was starved for attention so he wanted to play.  While it was nice Daddy used up too much energy and didn't feel great after. Which brings me to an important point when reentering you life after a injury or illness take your time and go slow. Don't try to jump back into where you left off. Your body takes time to recover, and when you are participating in activities where you will be exhorting a great deal of energy remember your body is still trying to heal.  Daddy's are caretakers by nature so I understand that he wanted to take care of me. Sometimes, though a little must put on her adulty pants, and make sure her Daddy is in tip top shape. Remember, kisses and cuddles help people heal, save the rough stuff for when everyone is at 100 %
