Are you my Daddy?

It's happening. She is 21 months old. I can't believe it's happening already! Ella for a couple of weeks has mentioned things about "Daddys" off and on. Last night at Target she pointed out a small family shopping and their Daddy. I smiled and said, "Yes, that's the Daddy." She was pleased and we went on our way. Tonight we had a fun at home movie night and I ordered pizza. When the delivery man came to the door she ran over and emphatically called him "Daddy!" Really!?! Later we were talking about someone crying on the movie we watched (Monsters Inc.) and she of course felt the need to mention "Little Mermaid" and her Daddy. She is obsessed with "mermaid" and is very intrigued by the part where he blows up her human stuff. So I cut to the chase and finally said, "Mermaid does have a Daddy, does Ella have a Daddy?" and she looked at me and smiled, "No, Mamma" and lightly patted my shoulder. Can I just say I knew this day would come, but I had NO CLUE it would come so soon. Also just to be clear Ella doesn't feel bad about not having a dad and clearly her understanding is minimal at this point, but still?!?!
