Welcome to #CheckIn for Thursday, March 7
Hi there. This is Lee and I will be your host for the next week. If you are #NewHere; welcome!
Today’s topic is:
What is are the most unusual experiences you've had with a child?
My answer:
When Katie was 3, she asked me if I wanted to attend the tea party she was having with her doll and teddy bear. Of course, I agreed, but I really didn't understand the level of commitment that a child can bring to pretend/play. Her tea set was entirely made of aluminum, and the tea, water and scones were "ethereal". She completely blew me away by the care she took in pouring the tea into the cups, distributing the "scones" and in carefully sipping the tea, as well as asking me if I was pleased. And, pleased I was.
This probably sounds very mundane, because it is impossible for my mere words to convey the level of commiment that she made in play.
Beth was so impressed too, that the following week she and Katie made actual tea and crumpets and we all partook, with Katie, again, as the hostess. (Katie had seen tea and crumpets on a Brit cartoon.)
