I was feeling the need for a quick chocolate fix, so I went through all of my kitchen cabinets, freezer, and refrigerator, and came upon a container of dark chocolate frosting just sitting there, very innocently in my refrigerator (no it was not purchased with a cake in mind) I pulled it out and grabbed a spoon, determined to have just a spoonful or two to satiate my craving and put it back. As I was SLOWLY enjoying the first of my two spoonfuls ( a little salaciously, I might add, its a good thing no one else was there to see, it felt very naughty...) My baby daughter looked up at me with that look that said, "Momma, I want some!" How could I refuse such a request? From my only daughter no less! How could I refuse her? I couldn't, so I didn't. I scooped just a tiny bit on the end of the spoon and proceeded to give my daughter her first REAL taste of chocolate.
It was magical.
She opened her little mouth and closed it over the end of the spoon and, as her little tongue got its first wave of chocolate-y goodness, her eyes opened wide and she sucked it down, opened her mouth again and made the little "Aaaa" noise that I know translates into, "More of that, NOW!!" I gave her another small taste and watched my little girl, fall in love with chocolate.
Magical!
I smiled a little bit and looked into her big, blue, eyes and said, "Yes, its incredible isn't it? It's called chocolate, and it never gets old! It is always as amazing as it feels now. It never judges you. It never calls you fat. It will always be there for you when you need it. It will not be mad when you ignore it for a while, and it will always welcome you back with open arms when you are sad and need it. I personally have always loved chocolate, and I am so glad, my little girl, to share this moment with you!"

It was the first official "girl thing" that I have bonded with my daughter about,
and it made me smile.
Yay, for mother/daughter bonding!
