Chocolate and Code
May 30, 2009
When I woke up this morning, Leafy was attempting to glue pieces of paper together with my Burt's Bees chapstick.
And on that note, he'd like to demonstrate the proper way to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate.
Leafy sincerely believes that a spoon is necessary for maximum hot chocolate enjoyment. Some people may find this method slow, but Leafy says, "Oh no, no no no. It's delicious."
Beyond even recommending this hot chocolate, Leafy would like to endorse it. And he'd like to do it wearing a muscle shirt with a tiger on it. (I didn't buy it, it was a kick down. But I think it's cute.)
You really need to make sure that you get the hot chocolate all the way into your mouth.
Taste sensation!
Whew. Time for the next sip.
(PS. That time of year has come again, when one of our nearest and dearest bravely makes his way to a remote spot in Turkey. I may not say so much directly about it, right now, but know that the fort is being held down by my sister and I, and that I am hoarding the chocolate so as not to go crazy before the middle of next month. Send money. I mean, chocolate. I mean, prayers for sanity. Thanks.)

Taste sensation, SUPER.
My oldest son "drinks" hot chocolate the EXACT same way! Here I thought he was the only boy who does that! Phew! ;)
your children steal my breath, every. single. time.
are you sure that is leafy because he looks like some little boy and i still have chubby baby leg images in my mind from what seems like yesterday. sending real prayers and virtual choc choc
Will send both prayers and fair trade chocolate--but will need address. Do you prefer dark? I will head out to the co-op promptly.
He looks like my 7 year old with hot chocolate or tea. ALWAYS with a spoon. And a mess on the table beside it...
Wow our leafy is getting bigger and bigger - almost looks like a 4 year old. Love his hair, and he's so amazing! He still loves his food!
thanks for sharing!
Wait...that's LEAFY!!!???
You know, those photos...used in an advertising campaign.......would sell bucketloads of hot chocolate. Bucketloads!
oh my goodness, he is super amazingly cute!!!
I was wondering if you hubby is going and will send up prayers for sanity and loads and loads of chocolate and all other good things!
One spoonful at a time is how I like mine too. ;)

I could watch that kid eat his hot chocolate all day.
oh, he's good.
i think, one day, he should be president of the usa.
if he can spare the time.
send me your address. I will send english chocolate \;0
How completely darling is that! What a beautiful child. And family. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Kids are the only ones who know how to enjoy chocolate the right way - by savouring it! I've always gobbled down my chocolate and hot chocolate because I'm a chocoholic. But now I'll definitely try a spoon... :)
Your kids are adorable!

Good gracious, please give that child chocolate everyday. Love it.
I approve heartily of both his style and his taste!
