Tea Anyone?

This weekend we went to my Mom's so that Brad could help her with some painting. Sydney & I took off for the day & went shopping while the troops did the work. I maybe should have taken some pictures to show their hard labour, but that would have required staying around and Bradley did not want me in the house when they were painting. Protective Daddy.
So, the only pictures that were taken were of Sydney "having tea". It is really neat to see how her play is changing now. She is role playing more now & you are many times being "served" things, usually tea or soup. She loved playing at Nana's little table with the tea set. The set is porcelain (thankfully thick & not delicate) so the lesson of "gentle" needed reinforcement. Most times it appeared that the lesson was understood, but there were some lapses in memory.
Sydney knows that tea is hot, but she doesn't seem to know for sure which end she holds & from which end she pours. But that will come with time & for now she is just having fun.
Another thing that I really notice now is how much she copies what you do. The other day I was sitting with her on the couch & had my feet up on the coffee table. She couldn't reach the coffee table with her feet, so she hopped off the couch & went to get her little rocker (thanks Laurie) to pull up to the table to put her feet up. She really made me laugh- so of course I had to go get the camera.
