People meet for business meetings; personal meetings; husbands and wives will meet during a short break just to catch up; moms bring their preschoolers for lunch or a snack before collecting the older kids from school.
I, personally, love this development! :o) We go out for coffee several times a week. One day last week, Hannah and I went out for a Mommy-daughter "date" and had coffee and hot chocolate.
Well, we went out for a "family coffee" today and we've discovered something new and great:
Babyccinos!!
It is an espresso cup with steamed/frothed milk or chocolate milk topped with whipped cream and/or marshmallows (note, I said espresso CUP. There is no actual coffee involved). In many coffee shops this is a free treat for the kiddos! So, today, the girls had their first babyccinos and LOVED them!
"I've called you all here this morning to discuss something very important..."
"Maye-maows!!" (aka, marshmallows)
"This is AWESOME!"It was a bit surreal sitting there watching our 4 year old and nearly 2 year old drinking what really LOOKED like a coffee drink. Looking so grown up and yet so teeny at the same time. Meanwhile, Mommy and Daddy got to enjoy our very own mochas (aka, legal addictive stimulant - thank you, Tom Hanks, for that line!). It was a really enjoyable family time and I think our girls have found their token "coffee."
"Waddya think, Mom, one more??"

That last picture is awesome! What a fun treat for your family! :O)
I love the to pic of H and her coffee... She has that look of "Don't bother me until I've had my babyccino!" Very cute!
Madison and Morgan would love those!! I love the last pic!
Cute! I really did drink coffee as a child in Brazil, so that kinda brings back memories. Only it wasn't really at coffee shops, it was after nearly every meal!
