Mother's Tea

The anticipation for Paige's Mother Tea was insurmountable.  Her class studied Korea so the theme for the day was just that.  She talked about it for weeks on end.....and she actually retained and taught us a lot!  She couldn't wait to show me the hanbox dresses, the flowers, food, etc.  I just love being her mommy and loved sharing her excitement for our special school date.


I know someday she won't be as excited to have me by her side and I just treasured this day and her love for me too!

 Paige worked very hard on this tea cup that was my gift....notice the sharpie and the "drawing inside the cup" technique.  Yes, she is still very disappointed with me that I won't drink out of it.  Hard to explain to my 4 year old that she may be poisoning me with permanent marker!

 Cute program:)

I was also gifted with a large yellow flower for my hair.  If you see me sporting it around town, it's because my 4 year old thinks it's just the most beautiful thing she has ever seen and is so proud to see me wearing it!  Ha!

 Paige and her dear teacher, Mrs. Boot (sporting what Paige tells me is a Hanbox dress)....she's already teaching me and she's 4....can only imagine the math I will be learning when she's 7!

Paige and her 2 good friends, Avah and Ava!

One last side note:  Paige has become quite the fashionista as of late....she wanted to sport a headband, scarf, necklace and her fancy pink shoes for this event.

Guys

Will is really into to the term "guys" right now.  His little G.I. Joe people....guys, him and his dog, Ruff....guys.  And especially Will and his daddy....GUYS!  The bond that Ben and Will have is melt you heart adorable.  This afternoon, we were driving home in the car and out of the blue, Will started getting a little weepy because he missed his daddy.  We had to call Ben's phone and listen to his voicemail just so Will could hear his voice!  If you want to get through to Will, you just refer to the situation with the word guys in it and it seems to make sense to him.  For example, his whiny attitude as of late?  Ben just explained to him that, "they are guys....and guys don't whine!"  And oddly enough, that seemed to make sense to him.    At the root of it, I think Will wants to be just like his daddy...what do you think?

 "Light saboring" Dad and Annie....pretty scary!


This 3 year old has turned ALL BOY (or ALL GUY in Will's world).
