Papa

A few posts ago, I showed how much Clare loves Mema.  
Now it's Papa's turn!
I really think that Clare would choose Papa over anyone else in the world.  They have such a special bond.  I'm not sure if HOURS at the park and countless cookies from the Publix bakery have anything to do with it, but their connection is undeniable!

My dad literally spends HOURS at the park with Clare...every day.

Even though my parents have been gone for a couple of weeks now, Clare still wakes up in the morning asking for Papa.   She'll repeat, "Papa...park...Papa...park...Papa...park" until I break the news to her, yet again, that Papa is back in Michigan.

She knows who butters her bread.  
You don't see me giving her a fresh beater of cookie dough.


This picture says it all....Clare loves Papa!

So sweet! Is Miss Clare wearing Saucony running shoes in the last picture, and if so, is that Papa's doing too?

What a sweet post. Both of my daughter's adore my Dad too, I would have to say it has something to do with the spoiling they get from him:)

What you meant to say was, "Clare would choose Papa over anyone else in the world...except Ninnie"...right?
