Daddy and Daughter

Paypay and Chickpea had their first 'Daddy and Daughter' outing on Sunday, they went to see Elmo Makes Music. After nap all four of us got in the car and headed to Everett, Paypay dropped Roxy and I for some shopping and they continued north to the Center.

Roxy and I spent the afternoon shopping and had a great time roaming through all the stores. Yep, that's my niece. . . another trotteuse in the making!

As for Paypay and Chickpea I didn't know what to expect. I knew they would have a good time but didn't know if Chickpea would last through the 1 1/2 hour show. Well I was very wrong! They had a great time and Chickpea danced the whole way through and was repeating the letters being shown on the big screen. At the beginning of the show Chickpea was sitting on her seat swinging her legs to the beat, had a grin from ear-to-ear and clapped at the end of each song. A couple of songs later, Paypay got her off her seat and let her dance to the beat as she held his hands and the smile never faded.....

Later that evening Paypay told me that there was only one word that summarized the day for him 'priceless'.

Paypay et Chickpea ont eu leur premiere sortie en tant que 'Pere et Fille' dimanche passe, ils sont alles voir Elmo Makes Music. Apres sa sieste nous avons embarque dans la voiture en route vers Everett. Paypay a debarquer Roxy et moi au centre d'achats pour un apres-midi de shopping et ils ont continuer vers le centre.

Roxy et moi avions passe l'apres-midi a magasiner et avions eu du fun a faire tout les magasins. Youap, c'est ma niece. . . une autre trotteuse en formation!

Je ne savais pas quoi m'attendre pour Paypay et Chickpea. Je savais qu'ils auraient du fun mais je doutais que Chickpea reste pour tout le spectacle de 1 heure et demi. Et j'avais tort! Ils ont eu beaucoup de fun et Chickpea a danse tout le temps et repetais les lettres quand ils apparasait au ecran geant. Au debut Chickpea etait assise sur sa chaise et faisait aller ses jambres, avait un sourire fendu aux oreilles et frappait des mains apres chaque chanson. Quelques chansons plus tard Paypay l'a debarque de sa chaise et elle dansait en tenant ses mains et son sourire n'est jamais partie.....

Plus tard dans la veillee Paypay m'a dit qu'il y avait un mot pour decrire sa journee 'precieux'.

Ready to go.....


Smiles that say it all.....
