Chickens & Bears

On Sunday Mehandis sampled some chicken I made for him... the first meat offered since being in Wisconsin. You can see by his face he was a bit hesitant.

But willing to give it a try, mixed in with some squash & pears.
Mmm... maybe not.

If you had a discerning eye (or sport focused mind) you may have noticed that Mehandis was wearing his first, and only, Green Bay Packers jersey. This would come to a shock to those who know us, since Michael nor I watch football... and definitely do not cheer in any way for the Pack! But thanks to Mehandis's Great Uncle Mike, our son is fully outfitted from pacifier to booties. So we did our best to be true Wisconsinites and put our little man in the gear.

Looks like did his best to cheer them on to beat the Bears... but to no avail. Our neighbors do finally feel that there may be hope for us now though:)

This is beyond belief! Had I known that you were not Packers fans, and even worse, Bears fans, I would have informed the authorities. People should be of good moral character before they are allowed to poison the minds of children.
Thank God Mehandis does have an extended family to pass on the true values. It does indeed take a village.
