This little tea party was put together by my father-in-law, and believe me it was a huge hit with Monk.  She couldn’t get enough of pouring, and then drinking, the water.  We were all drafted, I mean invited, to attend the tea party.  Eventually we moved into snacks which included Pepperidge Farm Goldfish instead of the traditional toast and jam. It didn’t matter to monk: she’s had toast and jam before, but now goldfish are her newfound love.

Monkey has a new found love. Typically she’s on her milk all day like a barnacle on a rock, but now that she’s discovered sparkling water we’ve got a new winner. We don’t allow juice, except on the rare occasion that its diluted, so this is a real find. She asks for it throughout the day. Our next step is to explore various brands, and fingers crossed, our own home water carbonator system.
