I've been holding something back. I'm waiting for the right moment for the big reveal...
Our three-year-old loves warm hot chocolate. She specifies warm each time as she reminds me that yesterday (aka sometime in the past) I made it too hot.
I used to put marshmallow bits in her warm hot chocolate. These are tiny with a crunchy texture. I found them at WalMart. They might be freeze dried. They are fun for a topping, and a little bit goes a long way as a novelty. Individually, they are a little smaller than a pencil eraser.

| Exhibit A: "Regular Marshmallows" |
Then, out of nowhere, Daughter was exposed to mini marshmallows. The ones that are soft and about the size of a marble. But here's the thing: She was so excited when she saw them because they were large in comparison to the mallow bits. Now she always requests warm hot chocolate with BIG marshmallows.

| Exhibit B: "Big Marshmallows" |
Here's the thing: She's never seen an actual normal golfball-sized s'more marshmallow (that she can remember). I am excitedly looking forward to the moment when we completely blow her mind with the regular marshmallows. It's not like s'mores are my all-time favorite treat. It's just that I can't wait to see her face when I bust open the package. With the weather warming up, we might just need to have a backyard s'mores roasting party soon.
