Tea for three

We have lots of tea parties around here...daily. London is usually the one who "prepares" the food, "makes" the tea, tells us what to wear and where to sit, and is the only one who can invite other "guests." Lily watches London like a hawk during all this and just does whatever she is told. But the other day, when London was at preschool, Lily wanted to have her own tea party. She started getting out the food, plates, cups, and the tea pot. She walked over to the dress up box and began pulling out clothes. She also got her bear and her favorite doll and sat them at the table. She acted like she had done tea parties all her little life. I was quite impressed. She is going to be a fabulous hostess.
