My Tea is Sleeping

Long summer drought, followed by unusually heavy rains leads to... foundation shifting! New cracks appeared in our drywall a few weekends ago, and Abby overheard me talking to foundation repair companies on the phone. So she then walks around with her fake phone talking to foundation repair companies, telling them that our house is broken & that there are cracks in the kitchen, her room & Katie's room, and then asking if they can come on Wednesday to fix it (Wednesday is the day for everything in Abby's world right now). When anyone stops in our house for a visit, she takes them on a tour of the cracks, sure to point out every single one.

When a gentleman from one of the foundation repair companies stopped by to inspect this week, she was setting up for a tea party. She told them that she was having a tea party, but that she had to wait a few minutes because her "tea was sleeping right now." (I told her the tea was steeping for a few minutes).

  1. I can picture her little mannerisms while she walks around talking on the phone. She definitely tries to copy how you and/or her dad talk on the phone with her facial expressions and head bobs. It's hilarious to watch.
