cows eat chicken

Austin is so busy these days, I have had a hard time getting any decent pictures of him, so when he decided to pose for a few, I was very excited.
Since Austin has a little stuffed accessory in these pictures, let me tell you how much he has been influenced by the marketing of Chickfila.
He received two cow toys during the grand opening of a new Chickfila a few months back, and they are some of his favorite toys. Whenever we have a free moment in our day, he says... "just a minute... I'll be right back..." And guess what he brings with him... the cows. "Let's play cows," he says.
He knows the phrase, "Eat More Chicken," though he hasn't quite grasped the idea that hamburgers (one of his favorite foods) are made out of his beloved cows. Just to give you an idea of the extent that chickfila has influenced out child, I've got a brief story for you:

We went to a little boy's birthday party on Saturday night, and they served the kids chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs. Austin ate quite a bit of food, but he began complaining on the way home that he was hungry. I reminded him that he already ate some dinosaur chicken for dinner, and he said very fiercely, "No Mommy, not dinosaur's chicken... cow's chicken!" Joseph and I had a good laugh over that one.
