tea party

Back around Christmastime, Luke was very interested in tea parties. I think it was because of his book "No More Bottles for Bunny" that features bunny wanting to join his friends (ducky and piggy, of course) at a tea party, but he can't join until he gives up his bottle. Luke became very interested in the tea party aspect of the story and started asking me to take him to a tea party. On New Year's Eve Day, he and I went to a local tearoom, which is a quite official setting for tea -- high tea menu, scones, china cups, and lots of over-decorated English roses and such. Luke was thrilled! His "prince tea" included a little brownie, teddy bear cookie, and cream cheese/jam sandwich (with no crusts of course). We brought Momo and Luke's new (stuffed) dog, Etoile. Everyone had a great time!


More recently, Luke continues to be interested in tea parties, and sometimes we play with his Schleich animals and the "babies" have a tea party with Play-Doh teacups and purple Play-Doh bread. I'm on the hunt for a nice little tea set for him, so that we can make our pretend tea parties even more official.

And, speaking of wishes, I really wish the weather here would improve. It's been cold, grey, and damp for way too long!
