Last night Eva was having a tea party with Anders and our good friend Chris. There had been many smiles, a spill (only water) and one of the glass saucers had clattered across the tile floor but remained intact - all was going relatively well...
And then one of the tea cups, from her brand new set, hit the floor and shattered. Eva was so distraught. No exaggerated hysterics, just deep deep sadness. It was her favorite one, pink with white polka dots. Through sobs she said heaving,
"I'm ... just remembering.... how... I ... felt... when I... first got it.... I was.... so... happy........... I don't.... think.... I'll.... ever....smile ..... again"
Poor precious girl. We were all sad with her. Chris collected virtually ever piece and we may be able to glue it together... we'll see.
I love that girl.

"I don't think I'll ever smile again". That's precious. I hope you can fix it.
Oh dear Eva, I really feel your sadness. I saw your happiness at opening the tea set. Poor broken tea cup. Glass tea sets are for parties on the carpet. Such hard floor. Hugs.
aw! :) hopefully you could find the same tea set, and get another one!!
I love listening to the way kids process things.
Hope the glue works and perhaps it can be an imaginary only teacup.
ohhhhhhhhhhhh
oh Eva, I'm so sorry! Remember the good times..
