"It is not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It's our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless."L.R. Knost
I love that quote and I love this picture even more.
The picture reminded me of tea parties with my daughters. Winnie the Pooh, Beatrix Potter. Bunnykins mugs. And Mrs. Lamb at The Book Mark and the wonderful Petra Mathers children's books she introduced me to. I still smile when I think of Theodore and Mr. Balbini. Mr Balbini and his dog share their seemingly contented lives until one day when Theodor says, "Beef Bits again?"*
And Maria Theresa, the story of a restless hen who leaves the coop to join the circus |
