good mommy, bad mommy

The good mommy gave Sarah a princess tea set yesterday. She earned it by displaying good behavior. I bought it for a reward months ago since I knew she would be just tickled by it. She was. She couldn't wait to start the tea parties this morning complete with cookies, m&ms, cheerios, and lemonade. We tea partied all day.

The bad mommy was tired of tea parties after just two. I can only eat so many cookies and drink so much lemonade. And my patience only lasts for so many spills. And I can only think of so many snacks to accompany the tea. And I can only keep Zach away from the precious tea party dishes for so long. I must remember how when I was a kid this sort of thing was right up my alley and persevere with the tea partying.
