Few things compare to a warm, foamy latte in the morning: such a delicious delivery for caffeine. I think it's never too soon to introduce children to the joys of a restorative morning beverage. When traveling in Australia (long before babies were even on my radar) I noticed that a babiccino could be ordered at most coffee shops. (Just as an aside: the coffee shops in Australia are unbelievably good in terms of espresso pulls, milk foam, pastries, and service. I long for the same pride in the coffee arts, which does not seem to exist on the Central Coast.) A babiccino is lightly steamed milk with a sprinkle of sweet cocoa on top, served in a cappuccino cup—the perfect treat for the youngest coffee shop customer. As soon as Iain was old enough to drink from a cup, we started making babiccinos for him, although we call the drink a chocolatte in our house. He loves the have his own "latte" with mommy and daddy in the morning, and I enjoy seeing him with a tiny ceramic cup and an adorable milk foam mustache: too cute.
