I pat my lap. “Come here then, sweetheart.” She stands and starts to take a step, but I hold out my hand and she stops. “I want you on your hands and knees.” She looks at me, then slowly drops down to the floor. “Crawl to me,” I say. Her eyes stay on mine as she slowly moves toward me, crawling on her hands and knees. “That’s right, baby. Come to daddy.”
