Girl Grey Tea

 enable images please

I have been introducing my preschooler to tea, usually a weakened form of whatever I'm drinking. Earl Grey is my favorite basic tea but Lady Earl Grey is preferred when I can find it. I also have been buying custom blends from Plum Deluxe and they have many Earl Grey varieties which I have enjoyed (especially Gratitude Blend or Picard Black).

R: What kind of tea is this?
L: Earl Grey.
R: That's almost a girl tea because "earl" sounds like "girl."
L: Let me tell you about Lady Earl Grey.

Learning to Count

Happy belated Birthday to my dad-in-law! Also Happy Birthday to my sister-in-law and nephew. Quite the festive weekend.
So my toddler doesn't quite have his numbers straight. Is it considered stealing candy from babies when you give them a choice and they choose the lesser? I could choose to make this an educational lesson, or I could choose to eat the extra chocolate chip. It's a hard choice.

L: Do you want 2 chocolate chips or 3?
O: TWO!
L: Ok.
