As we were working on dinner, the princess started writing on paper and tearing the pages out. We couldn't quite figure out what she was up to, but then she asked if she could have a party. We asked what kind and she said, "a dinner party!" We said yes and she extended her invitations and set the table for dinner. We even lit candles. As we were eating, we talked and laughed and the monkey grabbed a pencil that was missed while cleaning the table and wrote the princess's name on one of the "place settings" she had left at each of our seats. As he handed it to her this conversation followed:
Princess: What does this say?
Monkey: I don't know.
P: It says, "I don't know?", that's funny. *giggle*
M: (after a little prompting) It says, "Thank you for the dinner party."
P: *gushing* Oh! That is so sweet! Thank you for my note!
She proceeded to excuse herself to get her own pencil and they start writing notes to one another and to us.
It was precious and I hope I never forget tonight. They were still eating dinner and were so fun. They even helped clean up and got ready for bed easily (rare times in our house). Of course, what I didn't mention is that when we left the room the princess was throwing a fit and crying because daddy refused to hold her upside down all night so that she could sleep like a bat. Yeah, apparently we still have to have SOME tears during the night time routine.
