Tea for Two

At our Christmas Eve dinner at Kam's, Finley finally tried hot tea.  She has had countless tea parties with her tea sets, but I wasn't sure she knew what tea was.  Especially since she often served me "chocolate tea", which honestly, sounds better to me than regular hot tea.  If we ever get some real cold weather, I can serve her some "chocolate tea" (hot chocolate) with marshmallows.  The biggest surprise: she liked hot tea!  She has such strange tastes, it is really funny to watch what she will and won't eat.  She is getting better about trying new foods, but she will spit it out if she does not enjoy it.  And this still includes all green vegetables, which is so frustrating.  As long as she tries it, I am going to be pretty laid back about it.  She eats so much meat, she is just an all protein sort of girl.  She can take down an entire plate full of chicken nuggets, but she will also gobble up chicken marsala.  At our dinner, she also loved super spicy pork dumplings, well, only the pork part, she wanted nothing to do with the dumpling dough.  She ate almost an entire bowl of hot and sour soup and still saved room for chicken and rice.  Toddler moms, when did you stop using a bib?  Finley requests hers, so I figure as long as she is happy wearing it, we will continue to put it on her.
