Daddy's little helper.

Tonight when David got home he had to rewire his guitar and prepare it for rehearsal at church tonight, for playing Sunday morning. Elle-Girl took an interest in what her daddy was doing and so he let her stand beside him as he explained each step. She took in every thing from the removal process to the hammering in of the bridge. She even got to help with that part by holding the tiny hammer herself and taking a couple of whacks! What fun!
There were many trips to the back room, Daddy's work room, for tools and strings and odd sounding wrenches and pins. All of which she got to follow along for. The back room is typically off limits so Miss Elle felt very important getting to help daddy with this "major project".
It wasn't long before the old strings were removed and the new once strung through, and with a "Ta-Da", the Project was over.
David began to pack up his pedal case and zip up his guitar. He did not notice little Elle-Girl who was now trying to slide her small feet into Mommy's shoes left by the door. He went back and forth throughout the house looking for a guitar pick, lacing up his big work boots, and slipping his keys in his pocket, still unaware of Elle-Girl frantically trying to get Mommy's shoes just so on her feet. As he headed for the door Elle-Girl gave up on trying to put her foot in the shoe and picked up the shoes, tucked them under her arm and stumbled toward her Daddy as if to say "I'm going with you!"
David explained that she needed to stay home with Mommy but when she got a little older she could ride with Daddy and help him carry his gear to rehearsals.
He was met with a small little pout and a down cast look in which promptly led him to give her staying up privileges until he got back home.
I look forward to the Daddy Daughter dates to come and to see the bond that will undoubtedly continue to build between these two.
