Anatomy 101

Lou brought home the remains of a pig our Tongan ward member roasted for a farewell in our ward. As he was cutting it, Gehrig was watching on--fascinated. He was curious about every little thing Lou was doing. In these pictures, Lou is pointing out the spinal cord and the nerves branching out of it. Gehrig had many questions.

I love his expression in this picture. He wanted to take the spinal cord out and keep a "nerve collection" as he called it. I'm not that fun of a mom. I didn't let him. (Neither would Lou.) But at least I have these pictures for posterity. Right?

I wonder what he will be when he grows up? He sure is fascinated by anatomy (human, pig, chicken, etc.).
