After dinner that night, Calix surprised Calliope with a gift.
A giant strawberry crochet toy!
"Tada! A gift for my buttercup!"
Standing opposite Calliope, Calix brought out the toy from his back.
"Wow~ Wowww! Papa, thank you!"
Screaming out of excitement, Calliope quickly grabbed the strawberry toy. She pressed her small face on it. The plushie was two-thirds of her size but, its wide perimeter made it look bigger than the little munchkin.
"Waaa! Cute strawberry! Thank you, Papa~"
"Hahaha! Do you like it that much?"
"Yes!"
Calix laughed out loud seeing how enthusiastic Calliope was. She threw herself on the carpet, trying to hug the big strawberry toy. Her giggles continued to echo in the lounge.
After the family of three was done with dinner earlier, Calix told Leslie and Calliope to head to the lounge first. He immediately rushed upstairs.
