Email From Daddie: "Daddy Daycare"

So while I'm in Florida on business, Daddie has no choice but to play daddy daycare! This was the funniest yet cutest e-mails I've received all day! :)

**Disclaimer I have not changed anything from the original email**

Hey,

Let me start off by saying last night and this morning was a wild ride! It eventually got better though.

Your daughter must have not been feeling her best (or you told her to give daddy a hard time lol) I’m leaning towards the latter. As you and I were on the phone last night I was putting Dreux to bed, this was around 8:40 CST. About 10-20 minutes later I told you hold on, as I muted the line to see why Dreux was crying and not sleeping. Did some daddy moves to calm her down (rubbing her head, re-adjusting Mickey under the covers and saying “shhhh”). She was relaxed and I continued our phone conversation.

Around 12:45am I wake up to the sound of music (or Dreux up & crying) loud over the monitor, I tried to ignore it thinking it was just one of her little sleep lapses and she would doze off again. Well, I was wrong! I waited like 5-7 minutes and then “Da-Da!”. I went and got her out of the room, made a her another bottle and waited by her crib until she seemed comfy enough to fall asleep. Oh yea, she also requested Oh Baby [Dreux's doll] sleep with her last night as well, so I had to go find her and put her under the sheets on the opposite side of Mickey.

4:15am, the wonderful music plays again. This time I just scoop her out of her crib and bring her in the room with me, I propped up some pillows around us so that we had an impenetrable fort that would keep her from falling off the bed and monster from reaching Dreux. Took me a sec to fall asleep as I had to make sure the princess was good. Before you know it, I am waking up 15 minutes prior to my scheduled alarm (5:30) due to the little booger sleeping wild. I take her to the room to change her diaper and put her down for an extra hour of sleep. I put her in the bed as my alarm went off, the minute I walked out of the room she started crying. I had to just let her be since I needed to get in the shower.

After I was partially dressed, I went back to get her and found her with snot, slob and boogers EVERYWHERE! Cleaned her up and after that she calmed down and it was a typical morning. Threw on some ‘Baby Genius’ and went to work on her hair. I made it out of the house at a good time and actually got to work right at 8am! First one here! Haven’t done that since I started.

Just thought I would share this with you…thanks for telling your daughter to give me the works! Lol.

P.S. This is not a complaint, I enjoyed the challenge (after it was all over of course).
