Tea with Lau Lau

Today, my Lollygagger had a real tea party with her Lau Lau. Lau Lau is her grandmother, who loves the Lollygagger in 4 hour blocks of time. Can't blame her, really. The Lollygagger is only capable of behaving in 3 hour blocks of time. When she hits the wall, she's a different person all together.

Let's take today as an example. From 11:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m., the Lollygagger was a happy, polite young lady who poked her pudgy pinkie finger out to the side while sipping her tea. By 2:05, she was tired. You know what happens to 5 year olds when they're tired, right? They turn into little psychopaths who must run, or talk, talk, talk, and talk some more until you're forced to say "PLEASE, stop talking!" and generally get on everyones nerves.

All the same, she was on her best behavior today, and I'm a proud Momma.

I love these little moments in life that will be remembered in years to come.

Be grateful and thankful for each moment.
