Ian received some very cool birthday presents 3 weeks ago when we had his party. He very much enjoys playing with the new toys, leapster, puzzles, moon sand and play-doh, but the surprise hit that keeps him coming back for more, is this tea set that Samantha received for turning 1 the week before. It has a tea pot, two tea cups and a little tray of treats. The whole thing is in shades of pink and purple and the tea pot makes some adorable pouring noises and plays other tunes.
Each morning before camp, the three of us have a tea party and Ian fills up our tea cups over and over again. He offers Sam and I treats to eat while enjoying our cups of tea. It is very cute and makes me happy that Ian has a little sister and can explore this more sensitive, feminine side to him.
I am not sure where Ian learned how to have a tea party, but I'm thinking it has to be at the same place he learned to be a princess, cook in the kitchen, wear jewelry and take care of baby dolls. Preschool has done wonderful things to expand his horizons. I know before too long he'll only want to play 'cops and bad guys', fire fighting rescue and race cars 24/7. It's nice to know that for the time being he can be a great role model to his little sister and show her the proper way to host a tea party.
