You are never going to guess what my 15-month-old has become obsessed with over the last week. Never in a million years! Are you ready for this?

Coffee!!!

I know! I would have to be clinically insane to give Kelvin coffee, but for some reason he thinks he needs it!

He sees me drink mine every morning (and mid-morning….and afternoon….and mid-afternoon…but that’s not the point!) and he’s never shown any interest in it. But then a few mornings ago, I hear, “Cottee? Cottee?! COTTEE?!”

He kept talking about it all morning and finally Chad said I should just let him try some, he’d hate it and it would be over. So I gave him a teeny-tiny sip. And he loved it. Perfect. You’d think the kid was a business plan consultant that had been up all night, with the way he thinks he needs his “cottee”!

Of course, I haven’t let him have any more than that one tiny sip, but the next morning, he got up after Ava had already finished her breakfast and when she saw him, she squealed, “Hi, Babycake!” He just looked at her and said, in a very matter-of-fact tone of voice, “Cottee.” Apparently, he thinks he can’t talk to any of us until he gets his morning coffee. Good to know.
