Helf-fee Foods

Brian's Primary teacher stopped me in the hallway after church on Sunday to tell me about the opening prayer he had offered at the beginning of class. She explained with a chuckle, how he said in the prayer, "Sank you for the helf-fee foods and, sank you for the NOT helf-fee foods". She said he placed a lot of emphasis on the word, "NOT" and from the upward inflection he used while saying, "NOT" he seemed extremely grateful that our Heavenly Father has seen fit to place, "NOT" healthy foods on the earth. Ahhhh, a child after my own heart. I knew immediately upon hearing his Primary teacher tell the story about his little prayer, that the class discussions they have been having at pre-school about how to keep their bodies healthy, and strong, have made an impact on him.





Now, these pictures don't have much to do with the story but, a healthy food is involved. Last December, Evan and Brian were playing some sort of game. I was listening from the kitchen and I heard Brian calling himself, "The King" and was demanding that Evan feed him. Here we see King Brian's loyal servant Evan, "the minion" feeding his majesty some nectarine pieces. I had to snap a couple of pictures because I am continually surprised at what Brian can get his older brothers to do for him. Does this mean that he is only interested in healthy foods if someone has to be in his servitude? I do realize that Brian is always in that (blasted) Batman outfit. Seriously, he puts it on after pre-school each day. If it is dirty, he begs for me to wash it. He has 4 Batman outfits but, this particular one is far and away his favorite. I guess he likes the, impressive "six pack" abs decorating the front of the shirt. Remember this post? *Sigh*
