Since Preschool, whenever we get a chance, Téa and I rush off for a quick Hot Chocolate Date at the local coffee house. We used to swing by on her way home from school before we would pick up Avery from the babysitter's. Téa never wants to talk about school or things specifically about her. But get her some hot chocolate, big leather chairs by a window, and some alone-time with Mom and you've got yourself a talker. She ALWAYS starts by saying, "So, how was your day?" She then goes on and on about school, teachers, and yes, boys. We've kept the tradition for 3 years now and I hope we never stop.


I have to tell you how funny this is. It is snowville around here. The city is covered in 6 feet of snow and Tay is very angry because she cannot wear her Jellies out of the house. She acts like it is up to me to fix it; like I need to have a talk with the Weather Manager of something.
Anyway, she decided it was more important to wear those shoes and have the date in the car, than to put on some boots and go inside.
