The Zelly Zone

Wendy gave me a fabulous birthday party on Saturday and Zelly, as usual, was the belle of the ball. She entertained us all with her dance moves, captured here, for your entertainment.

“Mommy… what’s thaaaat?” Zelly asked and pointed to a spot far above our heads.
“Honey, that’s the Space Needle.”
“Ohhhh, the Pace Neemo, I see,” She stared up in wonder as we walked across the Seattle Center grounds toward the Children’s Museum. She kept twisting around so she could keep it in sight as we walked. “Mom, what’s up there?”
“Some people are up there honey, there’s a restaurant way up on the top and people are up there having dinner.”
“Ohhhhh, I wanna go up there, can we go up there Mommy?”
Wendy and I chuckled and I answered, “Maybe some other time honey, we’re going to play with the other kids, remember?”
The object of Zelly’s fascination was momentarily blocked by a building we walked around, “Mommy, where is the Pace Neemo? I can’t see it, where did it go?”
“It’s still up there, honey. See, there it is again. Ok, time to go inside and play.”
