So the other night, just recently, while watching Downton Abbey(LOVE that show).....I set up the China and had a Tea Party for ONE! All were in bed! I felt quite English....I knew that my English Ancestors were smiling down! Later that night, I just left the dishes on the counter, to be washed the next morning!
When Katie came down the next morning, she saw the dishes and asked "did you have a tea party?" I smiled and replied YES! She just starred at the pretty cup and saucer. I knew what she wanted!! "How about later today after Josh is in school, we have our own Tea Party!?" Excitedly she went to the hutch and pointed to a cup and saucer that she wanted to use! "I love the gold colours."
Later in the day when it was time for the Tea Party, she came downstairs and showed me her nails. She wanted to have them painted, "to look pretty!" We got things ready and settled down for our Tea Party....while waiting for the tea to cool, she eagerly said "I've waited all day for this!" She even had her pinky finger up while sipping the tea....it was priceless!!! Next time we will be having finger sandwiches!!
That night.....Josh was upset that he missed out on the Tea Party......so he and Alex brought down the Tea Playset....the boys knocked over the cups, burped and tooted!! It was a different Tea Party from Katie's....but it was ALL FUN!! The things that you learn at a Tea Party!!! I encourage YOU to have a Tea Party with your kids....you never know what you will learn!!
