David and I were reading a bedtime story and there was a heart in it. David immediately called attention to the heart, and then asked me where our human hearts are located. I told him where it is.
He then asked, “when we eat food, does it go down to the heart and then to the tummy?” I told him no, that the heart is meant to pump blood all through the body, and if you cut yourself, no matter where the cut is, you’d see blood.
He then asked, “why doesn’t food go through the whole body?”

Before we even got to the bedroom, David said, “I am going to keep my eyes open in bed tonight so that I can see everything!” Yup, this kid doesn’t want to miss a thing.
