Tea party for two.....or four




Faith enjoyed some much needed mommy time. While she doesn't enjoy dressing up much any more she recommended that we put on our nicest clothes and she would surprise me with an event. After changing my clothes and returning to her room, much to my surprise she had nothing planned. Instead she asked me to plan something. I had just dusted the china tea set given to her from her aunt and decided a tea party might me nice. So I grabbed the end table and spread a satin runner across it. Cut the pumpkin roll from the fridge and filled up the minature pitcher with water. Faith loved the small tea cups and filled her cup up time and time again. The cutest guest at the table besides Faith had to be the lion complete with his nosed smooshed up to the table. Barbie and giant Teddy also attended but chose not to eat their cake. After a fun time of exchanging conversation with each other I asked her if she wanted to dance. She totally took to it. I turned on some smooth jazz and we danced with each other and pretended that Barbie was prince. I miss the days of the three year old. Those days have come and gone but the memories of Faith I have in that phase of her life are just precious. I wish there would be more tea party days in the near future.
