About a week ago one of Sophie's aunts gave her an adorable Tea set. The tea pot sings a few songs (that are extremely polite by the way) it makes bubbling and pouring sounds, and came with 2 cups and a tray with 3 little goodies on (a circle, triangle and square). Since she got it, every morning when Sophie gets up finds the cups (which she likes to either stack or try to carry with one hand) and pours the 2 of us tea. Its so cute. If I turned off the sound the night before, she will say "peese! peese!" and I will turn the sound on so she can pour the tea.
Yesterday one of her great aunts gave Sophie a Belle doll (Beauty and the Beast) and she came with a sweet Tea set too. More bubbling tea pot sounds, 2 little cups (1 is Chip from the movie), this one came with 2 plates a fork and spoon and a cupcake.
Together Sophie now has service for 4!
Another gift she got yesterday (possible the best gift ever) was a "Daddy Doll". BJ had his full length picture taken with a white background and sent it to this wonderful company that made him into a doll!
The moment I handed it to Sophie she yelled "dadda!" and gave it kisses (then she chewed on his head a bit : )
Yesterday was a really busy day so Sophie didn't have much time to play with her "daddy" but this afternoon Sophie decided to have some tea. I had cleared off a little table we have for her and set the tea sets up, when it occurred to me that we had service for 4 so I asked Sophie if she wanted to have tea with daddy, she of course thought that was great. It wasn't long till she was pouring him tea, giving him bites of cupcake or other treat, and randomly giving him kisses.
It was utterly adorable (if not a bit sad too), after a while we added Belle and the 4 of us had a really lovely tea.
Tonight before bed Sophie, "daddy" and I curled up on the couch and watched a little Yo Gabba Gabba (he most favorite show). It was hard to not cry while my sweet Sophie cuddled up with and kissed her "daddy", I know that more then anything daddy wants to be here instead of his doll, but I think its gonna be a pretty good substitute...I wish I had one.
"Daddy" loved Tea time.
Sophie loves pouring tea for everyone, I'm pretty sure Belle enjoyed the tea too.
Yep that's Sophie giving "daddy" a bite of her cupcake.
Oh my gosh, this is wonderful. What a great idea! I hope Sophie doesn't chew Daddy's face off, but if she does, I'm sure it will be done with love. :)
ReplyDeleteApril- this is just too much. Precious. We miss you all and are praying for you and your hubby while he is away. So thankful for the sacrifices military families make this fourth of July.
