Toddlers are funny. You do something one time, and suddenly it's a tradition, and has to be done the exact same way, every single time they come to your house. Until, just as suddenly, it's not, and they are on to something else.
Right now it's tea parties, thanks to his special Curious George tea set that Papa brought home for him. A few of Annie's Cheddar Bunnies are kept in a special metal tea tin, and they like to hop, hop, hop right into his mouth. Then there is diluted cranberry-blood orange tea, which rarely makes it as far as his mouth. Oh, and don't forget to pound the heck out of some ice cubes, to make tiny slivers that will fit in his wee little cups. Not that he'd ever let you forget one single step of this important ritual!
This week was the first time he ever insisted on bringing all his cars and trains to the tea party, and he arranged them in that perfect semi-circle all on his own!
I love these little rituals, and plan to enjoy them to the max, for as long as they last!
