First tea party

 After living in the world of boys for the past 7 years its facinating to me to watch my little girl be a little girl.  The other day she wanted to sit at our little table and eat her pretzles.  She then plopped her dog in the seat next to her and wanted a bowl of pretzles for her dog.  I got out the camera when she started to pretend feed the pretzles to her dog complete with pretend eating sounds from the dog.
 Her first tea party.  We've never played this before - she came up with it all herself.  And she's not imitating the boys. Their tea parties would included light sabers, nerf guns and some type of villan.
 The differences between girls and boys are ingrained in them.  People ask me all the time if its different having a girl and besides the fun part of dressing a little girl it hasn't been too different from the boys. Until now. When the pretend play starts to become different and we get to experience a whole new way of playing that we haven't had yet. 
I can't wait.
