He likes it

We’ve confirmed a few things in this household regarding the beverage intake and preferences of a certain young boy.

This is Jace enjoying his own mocha instant cappuccino drink.

It’s probably not a good idea to give the baby caffeine, right?

But he loves it so much!

Big brother Jett is also partial to mocha cappuccinos… we even have a little song and dance about them, of which I will spare you the details.

Oh, quick aside about Jett’s antennae: for one, that’s what they are.  He’s supposed to be a bug.  And two: he came home from preschool wearing them and they were still on (although a bit crumpled) when he woke up the next morning.  True story.

And back to Jace and his love of strong drink:

Other drinks that Jace has been known to enjoy :: ENJOY::?

Coffee, straight-up black… cold, hot, it doesn’t matter.  I know that this isn’t a one-time fluke as he’s sneaked coffee many times, usually forgotten cold cups of joe.

It’s probably not a good idea to give the baby caffeine, right?

Also…?

Wine.  A full-bodied red, in fact… but that’s all he’s tried.  I haven’t introduced his palette to anything else yet, I wouldn’t want to confuse him, after all.

Of course it was not intentional – the one time I had a glass of wine while the kids were still awake – I got distracted which allowed Jace to snatch the drink off the end table and start chugging.  Luckily, I was close to him and was able to rip the drink out of his tight little grip after he got a big gulp down.  And from then on, I had to guard my wine carefully as he was circling like a vulture.  I couldn’t let it out of my hands which isn’t very conducive to “relaxing” with a glass of wine. 

Oh well, live and learn.
