Just like mommy...

So the other day Emma was sharing how she wants to be healthy and do lots of excercise and be "skinny".  Well to ensure she's working towards a healthy body image, we tried to discuss the concept of "metabolism".

So Jon starts lining up the french fries that we'd ate for supper to give a visual as to how it works with burning energy and extra food that turns into fat etc .

Our point was to let Emma know that "healthy" is more important than "skinny".

So discussing Jon's metabolism compared to mine led Emma to the horrified question...

"So will I be skinny like daddy or FAT like mommy?"

Don't you love her tact?

UGH!!

Aila once dreamily commented that my "tummy looks just like a cinnamon bun". Since she loves cinnamon buns, she thought it was a compliment.

I did extra sit-ups that night!! haha
