My Little Girl's Favorite Phrase
"DADDY PLEASE"
"DADDY PLEASE"
My little girl, Kayla, is truly in love with the movie "MAMA MIA!" She has even seen the Broadway Musical as well.
A few months ago we got the movie for her and she has to watch it at least three times a week. She goes as far as singing all the songs from the movie, through out the day at school, and at home, or at the store. About a month ago we asked her if she wanted to learn tap dance because when she watches the movie she likes to wear a pair of black dress shoes that have a hard leather sole and make a tapping sound when she dances. Well, we were sure she would say yes. Instead my daughter said no.
Then tonight, as she was dancing to the song "I Had A Dream," one of the songs in the movie, she suddenly asked "Daddy can I go to school to be in a Musical?" What do you say to that? I'll tell you what you say "sure" and then go to work and find a way to send her to dance classes. I want her to have everything she wants because I'm DADDY and she said that magic phrase "DADDY PLEASE". Which, by the way came before I could even answer her.
Now I'm on the look out for a class and why? Because, she wants to go, she is five years old and it would be so very cute to see her dance. I will definitely be posting pictures all over this blog! By the way she is watching the movie "MAMA MIA!" right now at 10:00 pm at night. Since she has no school tomorrow I'm going to let her stay up and finish it now I've got to go. Because she loves an audience when she sings and dances. What kind of Dad would I be if I didn't share this with every one! O.K. I'm just bragging, but, can you blame me!

ReplyDelete"Daddy Please" was always the phrase that worked like a charm for me when I was growing up. My Dad encourages me to follow my dreams even though I'm not so little any more. You daughter is a lucky girl to have a Daddy that encourages her to follow her dreams.
ReplyDeleteI have three daughters (now teens) but "Daddy, pleeeeeeeeeease", is still a common phrase around our house. My girls loved dancing lessons and it's great exercise, too. My middle daughter does all the musicals in her high school. She just was in the cast of Footloose and she had a ball! I had a great time watching, too!!!! I found you on Twitter and glad I did. I will be back!!! My blog is at http://rantsrock.com
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with bragging :). I have three daughters and it's hard to believe their all grown up. Save the precious reflections from your experiences as a father, then you will have memories that you can reflect back on her first dance recital, after she graduates from high school, and when your little girl is all grown up.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, did you hear about the young girl in a coma, and as the doctor was giving her mother the bad news that her child was probably brain-dead, the little girl woke up singing non-stop her favorite song... Mamma Mia
Makes me remember the times I was "too busy" to listen to, "Daddy, Please!" ....then all the times I did. I'm going to up the average.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the bragging!
You SHOULD brag! Great story, great post.
