Little who “tricks” their sad daddy into doing his “big boy” self care because they know their daddy struggles with it when his sad moods act up
“Daddy I need help brushing my teeth can you show me how?” Even going as far as crawling into bed with the toothbrush and toothpaste
“Daddy can you come take a shower with me?” Giving the little puppy dog eyes and pulling at their daddy’s hand
“Daddy can we do face masks?” And they ask to put it on their daddy first, their little tongue poking out the side of their mouth while painting the mask onto their daddy’s face
A little knowing their daddy has an easier time helping others and a hard time helping themself so they act “big” in small ways because “I’m a big kid who can help!”
Sometimes bringing their stuffies over to talk to their daddy while he’s laying in bed
Doing silly little danced to make their daddy smile
Or even just curling up in bed with their daddy and trying to comfort their daddy the way he comforts them when they’re not feeling the best
