Good to the last drop!


Margie Grace recently discovered hot chocolate and she couldn't be happier! She loves the stuff and requests it often. We fix her a mug (of lukewarm chocolate) about once a week as a special treat. She downs the stuff and wears her hot chocolate mustache with pride! We usually end up changing her pajamas after a round. The funny thing is that since we have been reading "The Polar Express" this month, (the kid is obsessed with trains and won't go to sleep unless we read the "choo choo" book and the "Baby Jesus" book) she insists on referring to it as "hot cocoa." The kids riding on the Polar Express drink "hot cocoa" and she loves to point this out every time we get to that portion of the story. I honestly didn't think she realized that "hot chocolate" and "hot cocoa" were synonymous. But when I changed the word in the book from "cocoa" to "chocolate," she noticed and quickly corrected me. "Hot cocoa, Momma." Either way, Margie Grace thinks it is the best stuff ever!
