His nickname comes from the first syllable of his first name, PAulo, and the first syllable of his last name, PÉrissé. Pape is a very happy and active child. He started swimming lessons when he was only 30 days old. He's fully bilingual English/Portuguese. He loves sports, but above anything else he loves airplanes, cars, tractors, buses, motorcycles, trucks and riding his bicycle. This picture was taken in Toronto on his 5th birthday.
