The basic food groups...

Last week I walked into the kitchen to find Daddy having a heart to heart talk with Clare. The important subject of this teaching moment: proper nutrition. Clare (notice her neon orange lips) was staring up at Daddy giving him her total attention.
"OK Clare." began Daddy "It's high time I taught you the importance of a balanced diet."
"Ummm-hu" Clare responded.
Daddy continued: "Let me tell you about the four food groups: (pause while he fished an olive out of the can) olives, pizza, Doritos and of course, diet Coke."
"OK!" said the baby.
And the two proceeded to enjoy a balanced meal together. Really, Daddy was the only one who stuck with his lesson plan. Clare stuck with the Doritos.
Also present in the pictures: Hawaiian Punch and a few sprinkles of powdered sugar...two very important food groups Daddy forgot to mention in his lesson.
