Sniffles and the Tea Party

Emme has been sick all week with an awful cough, runny nose and fever. Her spirits have been reasonably well but she was starting to get a touch of cabin fever. She was home with mom-mom who was also under the weather Tuesday and Wednesday and yesterday nana stayed with her. Her Mother's Day present from me was this FABULOUS Melissa and Doug white wood table and 2 chairs. She loves having a table and does writing, drawing, etc on it. Before I left for work yesterday I asked if she'd like to have a party with her "friends". Well.....she proceeded to gather all her animals from the bedroom and categorize them. Dog, puppy, little dog and baby dog sat in one chair, monkey, bear, Ming-Ming, Mickey and Minnie on the other chair, BIG bear and little bear on her polka dot chair and Em on a hassack. Nana sat on the couch but was not allowed to partake but was rather a casual observer. I was told she played for two hours having the grandest of tea parties and when I returned home from work, she told me all her guests had a good time. She served apple juice (herself), water (dogs) and animal crackers to the rest of her guests. I promised her we'd have our own party tonight complete with "yummies"
