Rosie makes Daddy tea...
"Cheers!" Rosie and Daddy clink glasses before downing her delicious tea..
Not meant for anyone over 3 feet tall...Rich had to spend several hours in Rosie's new house...So…Nonna and Papou got Rosie the “Rose Petal Cottage” for Christmas this year. A few months ago, I had seen the advertisements for this thing, and thought it seemed pretty cool and right up Rosie’s alley. My Mom & I talked about it once – and she went out on a mission to find it.
This weekend, my Dad was down and he and I put this little girl sanctuary together. Rich, the lucky son of a gun, was away with Loyola’s hockey team…so he missed all of the shenanigans and tomfoolery that ensued while constructing this child’s toy. We cursed, we huffed, we puffed – but we finally got the thing together. (At one point, while I was feeding RJ, Rosie ran in the room and said “Papou! You did it!) The Rose Petal Cottage was no piece of cake to assemble – but it was so worth it to see her in it.
She sat in there immediately and was just grinning from ear to ear. The Rose Petal Cottage has many accessories – from the “cupcake set,” complete with fabric cupcakes and baking pan – to the banana split…a dish, fabric banana, fabric ice cream scoops and an ice cream scooper. Rosie’s favorite, however, is the tea set. A little tea pot with 4 tea cups, saucers and tea bags – she is very into tea. We all drank copious amounts of imaginary tea while squeezing ourselves into her new little house.
She couldn’t hide her excitement when Rich walked in the door. She ran right up to him, grabbed his hand and dragged him to see her house. After spending 9 hours on a bus with hockey players, poor Rich got home and had to spend the next two hours crammed into Rosie’s new playhouse! The things you do for love…
