A 4-year-old's sophisticated tastes

A little over a month ago, my Husband and I went to a wine festival near our home. The girls had babysitters for 2 afternoons while we tasted wine and champagne. I was feeling a little guilty so I convinced Husband to buy some chocolates from one of the vendors at the festival. She heard us discussing what the girls might like and asked how old they are. Her response when hearing their age was something along the lines of "These chocolates are awfully sophisticated for a child." We bought'em anyway and enjoyed them, Husband I more than the girls. Surprising as these were the girls who wanted to try everything at the chocolate factory in Switzerland. I sort of gave up on feeding them fancy things for a while longer.

Last night Miss S showed me that I might be wrong. I had reheated some of the awesome French onion soup that I made a couple of weeks ago to eat for my dinner. I made the perennial favorite of chicken (nuggets) and french fries for the girls. After about 3 bites of her chicken, Miss S announced that she wanted to try my soup.

"My onion soup?" I asked.
"Yes, Mommy," she replied, as if there was any other soup on the table.
"Are you sure? It has onions in it. And spices." (She hasn't ever liked onions up to this point in life)
"Yes, Mommy. But I want it in a bowl." (as opposed to a cup?)

And she got it in a bowl. I gave her a small serving with only a couple of onion pieces. She LOVED it. She ate 2 more, larger servings before declaring that she was done. This from the kid who generally refuses anything that looks like it might have been cooked anywhere near spices. She ate soup with onions AND spices in it, and liked it!

Tell that to the lady with the sophisticated chocolates! And remind me to make more soup next time.
