So, that was just super cute. There was a "tea party" at Sam's preschool on Thursday to which the parents were invited. Aside from me thinking it was the wrong day initially (and no, of course I didn't just show up two days early), it was pretty great. The parents arrived a bit early and got to watch the tail end of the preparations, and then we were invited in.
"WELCOME TO OUR TEA PARTY! PLEASE FIND YOURSELVES A CHAIR!" was the entrance chorus from 16 gleaming 4-6 year old faces. We got to see the manners they'd been working on all week as the littl'uns all sat quietly, hands in laps. They were each invited to serve the cookies and kool-aid that they'd made to their parents - most of them even did so, rather than eating the first cookies themselves. There was much "please"ing and "thank you"ing, some songs, and then some surprisingly good cookies.
(The best part, of course, was confirmation that our son is the handsomest child in the land. Though there was one little girl there who would make some pretty littl'uns...)
It's almost like he's getting to be a real person. It's a fascinating process to watch, and I'm enjoying most minutes of it.
