My Little Space

Little: *stops coloring and starts to tear up*

Caregiver: *looks over to check on them and notices*

Caregiver: Sweetie, what’s wrong?

Little: *covers face and begins to cry*

Caregiver: *quickly comes to there little* shhh, sweetie, I’m here. Daddy is here.

Little: *opens arms and falls onto their caregiver*

Caregiver: *wraps arms around little and holds her*

Little: *sniffles and holds on*

Caregiver: *reaches over and gets a stuffie and hands it to little*

Little: *takes the stuffie and hugs it*

Caregiver: *rubs littles back* baby, I’m here for you. Please tell me what’s wrong

Little: *stops crying and looks up* I got sad.. I don’t know why it just, it just.. *tears up again*

Caregiver: *rocks little* shhh, baby. I understand. Its ok to get upset, even without a reason. It happens

Little: *stops crying again* are you sure..

Caregiver: *nods* yes. Its ok. I’ve got you, I’ll make sure you’re ok

Little: *curls up and let’s caregiver comfort them*

Caregiver: *comforts little till she falls asleep*

*When Daddy is busy all day*

Me: I miss Daddy!

Needy me: I just wanna talk to Daddy! Maybe I’ll text him…

Big me: He’s busy though, I don’t want to bother him…

Princess me: I am a princess, I demand attention.

Grumpy me: *grumpily eats snacks, grumpily drinks water, grumpily stomps around the house carrying stuffie, grumpily mumbles about missing Daddy*

Lonely me: I miss Daddy’s voice

Worried me: I’ll message him to check in on him… Message: “Hi Daddy! I hope you’re having a good day! I love you and miss you!”

Insecure me: What if Daddy likes it better when we don’t talk?! What if he doesn’t want to message me!

Daddy: I am, I love and miss you too kitten
