A Four Year Old Likes Coffee?!
About two years ago, I was making coffee and Lauren asked if she could have some of it. “Sure,” I said, thinking that one tiny sip would cure her for at least the next ten years. Well, it didn’t quite work out the way I planned.
“Mmmmm! Daddy’s coffee is GOOOD!”
Since then, it’s become a bit of a ritual, mostly on weekends. I start making coffee. Lauren asks if she can help. Of course she can. She loves to stir the creamer swirls until they are gone. When we are finished, she takes a sip or two.
Here are a couple of recent pictures. I tried something a little bit different with the first one, bumping up the contrast quite a bit. Not sure if it works but Lauren approved (in fact, she helped me prepare them to post).
For a child who won’t eat pie, cotton candy, jelly beans, or jello, I am amazed that she likes coffee!
She must have more sophisticated taste!
One of my kids loved to have her “cuppacoppe” (not a typo that is the way she said it; like it was all one word) with me every day. Amazing how one teaspoon of coffee in milk can taste so good to a little one.
I like to think it is the time shared with Mom that she was more interested in.
:~) Special moments… Reminds me of when me and the kids would have “coffee” together during breakfast: their’s was hot chocolate and mine the real thing. How we enjoyed those times together!
Ahhh… I love coffee too, Lauren (although I am 23 years older than you, LOL!).
Sweet images.
Love,
Becky
