Charly and I went to one of her favorite places for our date...the mall! To make it more fun I decided to let Charly do everything she wanted...well not everything, I didn't buy her everything she wanted. I know, I returned my #1 Dad mug. From our date you can get a glimpse into Charly's little mind and everything she loves.
First things first we had to equip ourselves with the necessary supplies: diapers, wipes, $5 bill from Mom (SCORE!), and our partner in crime... Rapunzel, who participated in almost everything. We started off our adventure in Nordstrom. Charly tried on some slap watches and looked at some pretty dresses, pretty expensive dresses, so I hurried her on her way with promises of escalators.
Next we walked through the whole mall and went on every escalator there was. No joke, every escalator. They are one of Charly's favorite things. We walked up some, sat on some, and of course Rapunzel was there every step of the way.

We then made our way to the carousel at the food court. After snagging some bourbon chicken samples we headed to the ticket booth. Luckily Mom remembered to pack our punch ticket. Charly decided she wanted to ride the white horse after sadly discovering that there was no yellow horse, and Tangled (as Rapunzel is often called in our house) sat on the horse beside us. We lucked out because you don't have to pay for inanimate objects so Rapunzel was free.
After a lot of hard work we decided we needed a little treat so we went to Godiva for a little smackeral. Charly picked out a little chocolate bird truffle which was delish.

After that we decided to move on to Charly's other indulgence...toys. I was nervous about this one. But she did fine. We had a little pep talk before we went in that we had to leave all the toys at the store and couldn't take them home. Then with more promise of escalators we were on our way.
Finally we made it back to Nordstrom where Charly saw someone getting make up put on. She asked if she could wear make up and we went over to ask. They were so nice. They let Charly pick out some lip gloss and put blush and eye shadow on. They finished it off with a little perfume which Charly also got to pick; Raspberry. Well I deleted the picture of her getting make up on by accident. I know, I already gave away my mug. I did however keep a picture of dressing up after.
Well there you have it - our first of many daddy-daughter dates. Maybe more detail than you wanted, but eh, it's my blog and you can stop reading whenever you want. Plus it has been a few months since we posted on our blog so you should be grateful.
The end.
