Milo worked so hard at mixing his tea, adding in the sugar, pouring the water, and mixing again, all before drinking it. I think he has watched me make tea several times a day this winter, so I can’t blame him for his persistence in creating the perfect cup of tea. The look on his face as he worked so hard was so priceless.

Capture the Conflict

Conflict doesn’t mean to capture the moments your kids are fighting over who gets to pour the tea first. Instead, the conflict here is Milo’s determination to make the perfect cup of tea. I want him to see when he’s older how he’s always been detail oriented and how he was so dedicated to little things, even making a pretend cup of tea.
