Meet the Daughter

So I met Bubbles, Laughs-a-lot's daughter. (It isn't easy for me to give her that name--it was my nickname at my first teaching job. But, she probably deserves more than I do, so, I am gladly handing it over.)

Bubbles is a great kid. She is lively and effervescent. She is witty and personable. Basically, she is her father's daughter. No doubt about it.

We saw Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, then grabbed some dinner at TGIFriday's. The interaction between the two of them was something special to behold. He is a proud papa and she is crazy about her daddy.

One of my favorite parts of the evening: the little boy next me started chatting with me. He was hysterically funny and cute as a button. Bubbles says to her daddy, "Miss Bethie is great with kids!" Hmmmmm... (She also made mention that she hates being an only child...not that I am contemplating THAT just yet!)

She loves horses, and without thinking, I told her that the next time one of the stables I do therapy with has an open house, I would let her know. I really hope that wasn't too presumptuous! I was just excited that she loves horses!

So, while I am sure deep down she would rather have her parents back together, I think she liked me just fine.
