Chocolate Marshmallows

Recently I bought a bag of chocolate marshmallows at Target. I thought they'd be fun to use to make S'Mores, but instead the kids are finding that chocolate marshmallows are just plain fun to snack on.

What is interesting about the following picture is that Jenna insists on cutting up her marshmallows with her kid's kitchen knife and fork BEFORE eating them. She is very precise and neat about the entire process.
While, ever since my boys were toddlers, they've chosen to grab a marshmallow and pop the entire thing in their mouth to eat.

And it reminded me of the time when Jeremiah was only 3 years old and he had popped that marshmallow in his mouth, and almost choked to death. The Heimlich really does work.

I'm grateful that Jenna prefers to cut up her marshmallow in small bites before eating.
