The other night (right before bed) Jack asked if we could have tea together. My initial thought was "come on, stop staling, it's bed time". Then I realized that maybe he just wanted some big boy time with his mommy who at that very moment was NOT holding his new baby sister. Thankfully I agreed and we made tea together. It was very special - we boiled the water, he steeped the tea bag, I poured 3 cups of tea and they added just a bit of sugar to each of their cups. Branden was home but said he was too hot for tea - it was a pretty hot night. Jack said he wanted to use fancy cups and saucers. We don't really have any "fancy" ones but what we had worked - he was happy. We also ate a few tea cookies (a.k.a. animal crackers) and shared a few laughs. It was a very nice end to the day with my boys. So glad he suggested it!Thursday, September 10, 2009
Tea for three

How sweet, a spot of tea is a nice way to end the evening. They probably slept well after that.
I'm sure Jack and Ben will treasure that you did this with them. It was one of those moments you could have easily taken the easy route and said no it's time for bed...this is what makes you such an awesome mommy! I hope Jack is over his croup. Hugs to you all!
Tea with my boys is one of my absolute favorite things in the world! I'm so glad you did that! Kade frequently says: "can we have tea together, just you and me mom, and talk about our day?"
