Today, we went to tea at a real, live tea shoppe! It was Sadie's (and Josie's) first "tea party," and lucky girls... they got to have it with not one, but TWO grandmas in tow! You should have seen Sadie sipping her tea (pink lemonade) out of her very own little china cup. It was the cutest thing! She also got a little heart shaped sandwich, miniature spoon, and tiny little pieces of fruit. She thought it was so cool, and she tried to act grown up... at least for a little while! Meanwhile, Josie entertained herself by pulling off her socks, throwing spoons in the floor, smearing her face with cookies and chunks of potato, and generally wreaking havoc while still being the cutest baby ever - as only she can do. :)
Funny things that happened today: I took Josie into the ladies' room at the tea shoppe to change her diaper, and I thought we were alone. She was making this "ah-ah-ah-ah" noise over and over because she liked the echo in the bathroom. After a couple of minutes of this (with her getting louder and louder all the time), I said, "You like to hear yourself talk, don't you? You're just like your daddy!" Then I heard muffled laughter coming out of one of the stalls and this lady came out and said, "Just like her daddy, huh?" She cracked up. I was a wee bit embarrassed. Also, Mama taught Sadie the little hand game that says, "Here's the church, here's the steeple, open the doors, and here's the people!" At the end, when you flip your hands over and wiggle your fingers, ie: "the people," Sadie adds her own little 2 cents. This is Sadie's version: "Here the church. Here the steeple. Open door, and here the people! And thumbs!" Oh, man. We laughed so hard. She's a goof. Later, after we got home, Josie decided to steal Sadie's sippy cup when she wasn't looking (she's becoming very mobile, and she's rolling and scootching around to get to what she wants now). She then tipped over backwards, rolled over on her back on the floor, held the cup up with her hands AND her feet, and intentionlly splashed water all over her face. She would shake it, sling water on herself, suck in her breath (it was cold), then laugh and laugh. How funny!
