The importance of rituals...



I am a strong believer in the handing down of rituals and so this morning, as the munchkin struggled with her boiled egg, or rather with the yolk, I suggested that we cut her toast into "soldiers". Oh, the sparkle in her eye and the joy with which she wolfed them down. And the warm fuzzy glow of a maternal heart... Memories recaptured of an era bygone.

    Cute little egg cup! We don't have egg cups in my house...I now fear that we are completely uncivilized.

    Then how the heck do you have a soft-boiled egg for breakfast?

    Stephen tweeted about this the other day! It is a good ritual for sure!

    I always have soldiers with my boiled eggs. How else can you dip your toast in!?

    We only believe in good rituals in this household (reminds self to get pumpkin today as Halloween approaches fast).
