I blame credit her My Little Pony Spring Tea Party book for encouraging my Future Farmgirl to hold tea parties, with me (real tea) and with one of her best buds (hot chocolate w/a liberal helping of mini marshmallows).
I’ve actually had a lot of fun with these little gatherings: setting the trays and trusting her with the Wedgewood (and, eventually, my grandmother’s fine china tea cup collection).
I have to admit this is one of the delights of having a little girl.
She’s mostly been a tomboy and shuns girly pursuits. But, on occasion, she’s sugar and spice, all the way through.
