Charlotte’s favorite pastime lately is to have tea parties. She asks me to have tea parties with her about 5 times a day (she actually asks, “Do you want to have a tea set?”). Sometimes I’m able to oblige, but sometimes I can’t! So I finally showed her how to have a tea party with her dolls (so that I could be off the hook, at least this time).
She raises her eyebrows & asks in a high-pitched, feminine voice, “Would you like some teeeeea?” We’ve tried to get her to say “hot chocolate” rather than “tea,” but apparently it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, because it hasn’t stuck yet!
Side Note: My mom bought Charlotte this tea set a couple months ago when Caroline was born. Charlotte later told me that she wished that the cups, etc. had faces on them, like the ones in her current favorite book, Penny Loves Pink. So I quickly drew some silly little faces on them with a Sharpie. Charlotte was delighted! She calls the teapot “Mrs. Potts,” of course.
