Teo's First Swing Dance Event

Teo made it to his first swing dance event this past Saturday. When time/life permits, we usually go to the Pasadena Ballroom Dance Association's swing dance on Saturday nights, the place where Candice and I actually first met, though she doesn't remember meeting that first night. She was too busy looking good, in her short little swing dance skirt (bright red) that showed off her terrific legs (what calves!) with matching red Keds and 10,000-watt smile.
I digress. This is TEO'S blog. Anyways, Candice wanted to go dancing Saturday night and that meant bringing the boy. We bought some moldable silicon earplugs that we put into his ears, plopped him in the stroller and made our way into the venue. We got about 10-feet in before the Teo-onslaught began. Folks kept coming up to ogle him and talk to us before we could get into the dance area proper. Of course we were happy to oblige all. They had seen Candice pregnant many times at the dance and now here in the flesh was the fruit of our... flesh.
Teo was awake and flashing those big brown/blu-ish eyes and once we started into the dance hall with the stroller, Teo's entourage grew exponentially. I turned around and there were like 8 people following us.
Despite being held by at least 4 or 5 different people (all his surrogate "aunts" and "uncles"), Teo was very calm and generous with his time. Auntie Rhonda was especially helpful and her watching and holding Teo allowed Candice and I to get a bunch of dances in. Plus we enjoyed watching the Teo phenomenon from afar - people coming up to him and cooing and wanting to touch him. He IS a cutie!
We stayed for the whole dance (til 11:30), but that meant feedings at 10 and 11, so Candice did have to bow out a couple of times. All in all, a great time out doing one of our very favorite things, and getting to share it with our little pride and joy. Plus all of our many good friends got to meet and see the Golden Child. I'm sure Teo bestowed good karma and energy to those deserving.
A special thanks to Gene Hashiguchi, for taking the pictures and sharing them with us, so we could commemorate the occasion and share it with you. Thanks Gene! Teo says "Blagrfgoogooluuowstflurp!"
